Cornerstone Events Makes Giving Back a Key Part of Company Culture

METAIRIE, La. - Dec. 22, 2014 - PRLog -- METAIRIE, LA –The leaders at Cornerstone Events have always emphasized giving back. Living up to their philanthropic culture helps the company as well as those in need, as the firm’s director of operations explained.

Giving back is rewarding in so many ways, and the leadership team at Cornerstone Events knows that the benefits extend far beyond warm feelings and good publicity. As Chad, the firm’s director of operations, commented, “When you give back to something greater than yourself, you strip away commercial interests and you get to the core of your company’s mission. Our firm was founded to help bring people together through innovative methods, and supporting the communities in which we work accomplishes that while also strengthening our company culture.”

Bringing team members together with a united purpose is a challenge that every company faces, yet doing so when there are no profits at stake offers invaluable benefits. As Chad explained, “I don’t know of a better way to illustrate your company’s reason for existing than by contributing to a worthwhile cause. Working together on behalf of those in need, rather than a prestigious client, reminds every individual of the firm’s greater purpose. It is an empowering experience that informs important decisions back at the office.”

The firm often works with organizations that improve the lives of young people, and while this is rewarding in itself, there are some added benefits that aren’t so obvious. “We feel that working with children is an investment in the future,” added the director. “The gifted young people we work for and alongside will affect our business one day, and we want to make sure that they have the opportunities to thrive. We have encountered so many incredibly talented kids who just need the chances to succeed, and we are thrilled to help them however we can.”

Giving back can also do wonders for a company’s own culture, and Chad sees the positive results of philanthropic efforts on a daily basis. As he put it, “When we return from a volunteering activity or fundraising event, our team is recharged and morale is boosted significantly. It’s just a different feeling, and productivity always seems to spike after we’ve contributed to the community.”

Cornerstone Events Maintains a Philanthropic Outlook

The entire Cornerstone Events team participates in a wide variety of volunteer efforts because of their commitment to giving back in each community in which it operates. According to Chad, “Our company has earned a reputation as a respected industry leader, and that is due in no small part to our exceptional team members’ willingness to sacrifice their time and energy to an array of worthy causes. I know that anytime a charity or nonprofit group is in need of help, our people will be excited to provide support. That attitude carries over to our professional interactions as well. We truly have a remarkable team full of individuals who manifest our company values on a daily basis.”
