Convergint Social Responsibility Day 2017

MAKING A DAILY DIFFERENCE

Through our Values & Beliefs, we have created a culture of service here at Convergint – a culture that we believe is central to our success as an organization. Not only do we serve and give to our local communities all throughout the year, but we also take it to the next level with our yearly Convergint Social Responsibility Day. Each year in June, Convergint shuts down operations for a full work day in order to allow our colleagues to go into their communities and contribute to those in need.

The impact from our 16^th annual Convergint Social Responsibility Day reached 64 local charitable organizations where we volunteered in 2017. Since its inception in 2002, Convergint Social Responsibility Day has given colleagues across all territories the chance to roll up their sleeves and make a difference in the local communities where they live. Convergint colleagues gathered as teams early in the morning, were briefed on safety and the day’s projects, and then got down to business.

Teams installed cameras and security systems, landscaped, planted gardens, filled potholes, served food, sorted clothes, operated Bobcats and augers, painted, stocked shelves, poured concrete, built homes, installed fences, cleaned, moved furniture, cleared brush, split wood, and so much more. The benefits to our local communities were immediate and visible, and this day has a profound effect on all our colleagues.

OUR VALUES

A culture of service: customers, colleagues, community.

“We have paintings from the children from Hull Homes all over our office representing every year of Convergint Day. After volutneering, we have a barbeque at end of day and all of the children, teacher, and social workers join, and they are so overwhelmed by our support to make their facility and grounds better for them to enjoy!”

Dan Dashney, Boys & Girls Clubs, Calgary

“Over the last two years, our team has worked hard at this same camp. Many of us perform tasks here that are well outside of our comfort zones. We get more from it then we actually give; that is the unique thing about giving back. That’s very special indeed, especially when you do it as a team!”

Colleen Tucker, YMCA, Boston

“Every year we look forward to this day. It gives us the opportunity to come together and work as one for the needs of others that may be struggling or are unable to do what we are capable of due to unforeseen circumstances. It’s always a great day working side by side with our Convergint brothers and sisters. Convergint is truly an amazing company, and the colleagues are just as amazing. I am blessed to be a part of it.”

Melissa Tillman, Giving Hope NOLA, New Orleans
