Skills-Based Volunteering as Corporate Self-Care

Companies are frequently likened to machines–departments chugging away in happy synchrony like a well-oiled machine. It’s easy to see why this analogy exists.

When we want to shift that focus towards the overall health of a company, however, we are better served by a more humanized approach.

Within our new analogy, we can reflect on how a person remains healthy.So, self-care is vital for the person, and by extension, is vital for the company. What, then, is the corporate equivalent of getting plenty of sleep, eating your veggies, and maintaining a constructive mindset? I suggest skills-based volunteering as a holistic approach to corporate health.
