Today’s episode of the More Mileage Series continues Kyle and Graham’s discussion on corporate social responsibility by relating it to team engagement. Most organizations already offer volunteer and community involvement opportunities, but too few maximize engagement. 

We’ll share why it’s important for business success to make sure team members are aware of (and utilizing!) the opportunities that exist within the organization, as well as the company-wide efforts to create positive social or environmental outcomes. Having team engagement plans in place is important, but following through with them is even more crucial to team success.

Welcome back to the More Mileage Series! In today’s episode, co-hosts Graham Pansing Brooks and Kyle Cartwright explain the importance of operational efficiency when it comes to corporate social responsibility. It’s impossible to say “yes” to every request for support... and saying “no” can be a diplomatic challenge. A clear and communicated strategy goes a long way towards saving time on all sides and gaining momentum within key areas of focus. 

To achieve operational efficiency and maximum impact, companies must focus their attention and align themselves only with requests and practices that fit their social, environmental, and financial outcomes. You’ll do more good and get more mileage from your efforts!
