CSR & CHARITY TEAM BUILDING
Giving back to the society combined with team building activities is both fun and fulfilling. In the same spirit of giving back to the society, we organize charity events combined with team building activities. There are different charity team building events that can be carried out in many forms, they all focus on one common goal: to help employees bond with each other and promote corporate social responsibility – also called community philanthropy. Apart from charity events being with much fun, they in addition enhance sourcing of funds and create awareness for important causes. These team building activities for charity allows employees to interact, engage and bond with each other while also contributing to a worthwhile cause.
The main objective is to ensure that teams work together to support a good cause. The employees feel a stronger sense of connection with each other, their organization and their community at large. Even more than holiday bonuses or employee surveys, team building programs let individuals know your company really care about them, by investing in developing their leadership and interpersonal skills, while having fun doing it! It is well known how difficult and expensive it is to retrain someone when a good person leaves an organization. Now imagine combining team building with charity and philanthropic activities? Fulfilling!
From the perspective of employees, it has to do with heart. It has to do with the spirit of the company, with the culture that your company embraces. It makes employees feel like every time they do one of these activities, it enhances who they are, the culture that the company has. CSR team building brings out emotions in the community and the organizational culture; empathy amongst staff is built and relationships amongst subordinates and leaders is tremendously restored. This is the impact of this type of team building.

Conclusion.
While the most important benefit of team building is the bond that is forged among the team, as team members work together toward a charitable outcome those bonds grow even deeper and more significant. As team members participate in CSR team building, they develop a sense of pride and satisfaction knowing that together they are working to improve the lives of others.
More often than not, our team building program options are a part of a full-day, multi-day or even a week(s) offsite employee meeting. In those cases, the company is making a broader investment in enhancing the knowledge and skills of its employees, as well as defining their corporate culture. Team building is a vital piece of that investment. A CSR program might even be a surprise piece of that because it has such a tremendous impact. Again, any type of team building program has a positive impact on employee morale and engagement. But incorporating CSR takes those effects to a higher level.
For any team building or professional development program we deliver, we can end with a surprise CSR component as per the client’s request. It’s the best of both worlds when team building is combined with charity.
