Most marketing, advertising, and public relations businesses have been operating in a work-from-home environment since the start of the pandemic. During this time of required separation, a lot of business leaders have struggled to find ways to engage their staff and reduce feelings of separation and isolation.
In many cases, this distance has weakened connections among staff and diluted company culture. The casual office conversations were eliminated and the coffee breaks and working lunches were put on pause. With 2022 around the corner and office reentry picking up pace comes an opportunity to strengthen the bonds among your reunited team.
As you consider how to support employee skill development while upholding your company values and mission, philanthropy can revive your culture and give everyone — from the CEO to the intern — a sense of purpose and belonging. To reconnect your staff and reboot company culture, consider these philanthropy-focused solutions.
- Participate in team-oriented philanthropy work.
- Empower employees to discover personal philanthropy opportunities.
- Create an internal philanthropy committee.
