As entrepreneurs, we’re often asked by clients to share business strategies — many of which are captured in Doug’s book, “The 10 Keys Transformation.” Here we share some of those insights with professionals in our 3 Dimensional Wealth community. This holiday season … are you thinking of giving your team swag with your company logo? Gift baskets? Branded apparel? Whatever’s on the gift list for your employees, make sure to add this one thing: a chance to come together to make a difference. While they’ll appreciate your gift item, the opportunity to give back can make an even greater impact. Not only is it an opportunity to elevate the lives of those your team helps, but the experience can bring your employees closer, boosting morale and unity. LENDING A HAND For example, each year, our team selects a different cause. This year, we’ll be serving local seniors, helping them get their homes ready for the winter. We’ll rake leaves, clean out flower beds, winterize sprinklers, etc. We’re all looking forward to an afternoon spent outdoors, helping those who can’t get around as well as they used to get ready for the coming season.
SHOPPING WITH A PURPOSE We’ve also partnered with the Kindness for Kids Foundation to provide Sub for Santa gifts for families in need. This effort took a couple weeks, with the team breaking into groups to shop for necessities and gifts. Some of our IUL specialists even brought their families along to get involved. One evening, the entire team gathered for a night of food, fun, and gift wrapping. Representatives from the organization joined us to share more about their mission in helping women and children rebuild their lives after leaving domestic violence and other difficult situations. On top of it all, we were able to personally deliver the gifts to some of the families, which was a humbling, touching experience. TEAM UP TO GIVE BACK If you’re wondering what’s best for your team, we recommend putting together a few of your staff to head the volunteer planning. There are many organizations that make it easy to get involved, including United Way, YWCA, food banks, senior services, and more. You can put money behind the effort, like with Sub for Santa, or it can be practically free, like helping local seniors. Whatever you decide to do, just as Doug talks about in his article on Pg. 1, it’s important to align your values with your actions. Giving back is often an ideal companies aspire to, and providing an opportunity for everyone to get involved helps your company’s “real self” align with its “ideal self.” So, make sure to create a give-back moment for your employees this season!
