Volunteering is Part of Changing Trend in Corporate Culture
West Palm Beach – July 22, 2010 – Gone are the days of golf outings and company retreats. Today, more corporations are turning to hands-on volunteer projects to get their people motivated and working as a team. It's a trend that's catching on in a big way – especially for the staff at AutoCricket.com.
The team regularly donates their time, trading in their pen and paper for a pair of work gloves. On Thursday, July 22nd, their day wasn't spent behind a desk, but breaking a sweat at the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store in West Palm Beach. The group spent hours unpacking boxes, sorting through donated items, and helping customers as they entered the store.
"Habitat for Humanity changes so many lives, and the Re-Store plays a big part in that," says Jason Brian, Founder and President of AutoCricket.com. "They sell used and surplus building materials at a fraction of retail prices. They help people save money on supplies, just as AutoCricket.com helps people save on auto insurance. It's a perfect partnership."
Volunteering is just one of the ways corporate culture is changing across the country, as more and more companies realize the importance of communication, co-operation and team building. It's part of what turns a good company into a great company.
"For the AutoCricket.com team, it's a win-win situation," adds Sara Gates, Director of Marketing and Promotions. "The non-profits win from the completed project, and our group wins because they realize the result of their joint achievements is so much more than the sum of their parts. It's truly a team effort."
