Build Team Unity With Community Involvement
14 Oct
There’s nothing quite like the power of community involvement to build a close team. If you and your staff can volunteer together and do good in your community, it will not only help your community, but your staff’s satisfaction as well.
Earlier this fall, our Fredericton staff entered in a team into the McInness Cooper Dragon Boat Festival, which helps to raise money for Kids Sports New Brunswick and New Brunswick Amateur Athletes.
Our team had to raise over $1,000 to enter a team, which we did through different fundraising events at the store this past summer. Then our team of 20 rowers participated in two training sessions, and then race day. This event was ideal for us because it showed the importance of working in unison to achieve the maximum results.
It was an amazing event and loads of fun for everyone involved. Take time to empower your team by giving back to your community. It’s a win-win situation.
