There aren't many days left in 2017, but it’s an especially important countdown if you work at Google, Apple or any other tech company which has an employer match program for charitable donations. Have you maxed out your match yet? Please consider doing so and let me give you an idea of a fun way involving your team and colleagues.

I’m hoping some of you will try this at your company:

  • Pick a period of time (24–48 hours work best) and declare it a “FlashMob for Good” during which you’ll track the combined donations going from your company to a specific charity.
  • Set up an online spreadsheet where each employee can enter their own donation contributions (or enter them as “anonymous” if they desire). Send an email with this info and the details for #4 below to the entire company.
  • During the 24–48 hour FlashMob period, select a specific 60-minute slot where you reserve a large conference room. Tell employees they can give any time during the 24–48 hour window to participate but that you’re holding a LIVE MOB during that time.
