#TeamingTip ?? Recognize individual & team wins to build trust & momentum ?? Recognizing and celebrating your employees (and volunteers!) isn’t just about occasional pizza parties (though we all love a good slice ??). It’s about meaningful recognition of the hard work, dedication, and contributions your team brings to the table every day. Why Employee & Volunteer Celebration Matters: ?? Recognition fulfills a fundamental human need: to feel valued and appreciated. ?? Appreciated employees and volunteers are more engaged, productive, and loyal. ?? A culture of celebration fosters inclusivity, psychological safety, and growth—key elements of a human-centered organization. Teamwork Tips for Meaningful Recognition: ?? Say it often. A heartfelt “thank you” or shout-out during a meeting can make someone’s day. ?? Make it personal. Celebrate individual wins—like completing a challenging project or achieving a personal milestone. ?? Think big picture. Recognize team achievements, like hitting a quarterly goal or overcoming a tough challenge. ?? Integrate it into your culture. Don’t wait for annual awards—make recognition a daily/weekly/monthly habit. ?? Create a Peer Recognition Program where colleagues can nominate each other. Survey the team on what they would find as a valuable "prize". And you can tie it to individual or team achievements. When was the last time you genuinely celebrated a colleague’s contribution? If it’s been a while, now’s the time to start - but do so with intention (and hopefully a plan with metrics attached and feedback included). A team built on trust, inclusivity, and safety is one that thrives. #socialimpact #leadership #teamwork #humancentered #benevolent #business #nonprofit #volunteers #volunteering

?? Imagine a nonprofit CRM that works with you, instead of one you work for. ?? The promise of #CRM is to help your team have better insights, and ultimately save time and budget to fulfill your mission. But all too often Nonprofits get saddled with CRM that ends up costing MORE time and budget in the long run. HubSpot + Benevolent Tech and our partners makes the promise of CRM a reality for #Nonprofits and benevolent businesses!

?? Honoring Indigenous Heritage & Empowering Communities ?? November is Native American Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the rich history, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous peoples. At Benevolent Tech, we’re proud to spotlight the incredible work of the Peacekeeper Society, an Indigenous-led nonprofit based on the Yakama Indian Reservation in Washington State—an area close to our hearts. The Peacekeeper Society is a beacon of hope and resilience, dedicated to preserving Indigenous traditions, fostering community well-being, and addressing critical needs across the Pacific Northwest. Why we love Peacekeeper Society: ??

Their Emergency Response Program delivers food and essential supplies to underserved communities, prioritizing elders and families. ???? They support healing through initiatives like Grief Recovery, helping individuals process loss with culturally rooted approaches. This Native American Heritage Month, we honor organizations like the Peacekeeper Society that exemplify the strength and wisdom of Indigenous communities while addressing modern challenges with compassion and collaboration. ??

#TeamingTip Find a way to make sure all voices are heard in collaborative work. It can be such a lost opportunity to bring your incredible talent together, only to have the loudest, or most authoritative, voices dominate the conversation. But where to start? Here's a few ways you can get the most out of your incredible team: ?? "Think-Pair-Share" Individuals brainstorm ideas individually, then pair up to discuss and refine their thoughts before sharing with the larger group. ??? Affinity Mapping After brainstorming, group related ideas together to identify recurring themes and diverse perspectives. ???? Facilitator-led Discussions or Workshops A designated facilitator actively solicits input from everyone, ensuring no one is left out, managing the contributions, read-outs, and conversation flow. How do you ensure all voices are heard when you gather a group to collaborate? #teamwork #Collaboration #leadership #humancentereddesign #benevolent
