The science behind giving back: how volunteering can make you happier at work

Volunteering isn’t just about giving back to the community; it’s also a powerful tool for enhancing workplace happiness and team cohesion. Engaging in volunteer activities can lead to increased motivation, improved team performance, and a greater sense of well-being among employees.​

The Ripple Effect of Volunteering

One fascinating insight is that volunteering is contagious. When managers and team members participate in volunteer work, it encourages others to join in, creating a culture of giving. This collective effort not only benefits the community but also strengthens team bonds and fosters a supportive work environment.​Atlassian+2Atlassian+2Atlassian+2
