Corporate Philanthropy


People sometimes ask me, “You are working in a private sector what are you possibly doing for the Nation?”And here is what I tell them.

Actually the private sectors or corporate organisations are doing their bit of giving back to the society in the best possible way. Corporate Philanthropy and Employee engagements are increasing widely. It is no longer considered an optional thing anymore. Employees are motivated to invest time and money in such activities. This is being taken more seriously than ever before and employees are also being judged by how they manage these activities.  This increases collaboration among employees because people from different departments or accounts come together to work for a single cause and help each other to fulfil their goals and duties towards the society.  They are not only making financial contributions towards the less privileged but also investing their time for environmental causes, literacy, helping differently able and many more that brings some goodness to the communities we live in.  This is boosting the morale of employees, increasing their sense of belongingness towards the organization and in a way making them more loyal.

We have now realized that we needn’t be Bill Gates, Warren Buffett or Mark Zuckerberg to be involved in philanthropies. Various employee engagement programs and corporate initiatives are giving employees to do their part as well. This improves team spirit, boosts leadership qualities, develops event management skills and above all improves our business ethics and culture. All this and we also pay our taxes regularly


So, what are you waiting for? Everyone can be a part of it and enjoy the journey towards making this world a much beautiful place together.
