A Great Team Recruitment Tool

Kudos to Allgen Financial for putting together this great e-mail ad.

Christian Service Center

Many companies and organizations look forward to the annual Track Shack Corporate 5K as a fun team builder.  The race is a great way to get to know co-workers in a casual environment and throw a little healthy competition into the mixJ.  At the Christian Service Center, this is especially true!  The race holds such meaningful symbolism to our organization.

The Corporate 5K reminds me a lot of the Center itself.  It provides a unique opportunity for staff, volunteers, board members, and clients alike to join together as one unified team, leaving any barriers that separate us at the door.  During this race, it doesn’t matter what your age, religion, ethnicity or job; it doesn’t matter if you came to the Christian Service Center because you need help or because you want to help someone else.  We all wear the same outfit, run the same race and share the same satisfied smiles as we cross the finish line together. 

Team Christian Service Center extends an open invitation to any community partners, families or individuals who would like to join a Corporate 5K team!  Starting this week, team Christian Service Center is holding practices up until race day every Monday at 6 p.m. at Parramore Heritage Park (corner of Parramore and Central).  For more information on the Christian Service Center or to contact us, please visit www.ChristianServiceCenter.org.     

Thank you Track Shack for this annual opportunity and for adding a whole new dimension to our definition of “team”.  We look forward to seeing you on April 15^th!

Building Your Team

So, you've registered your team for Corporate 5k. Now, what do you do next? Here are some ideas for building your team.

1. Get your boss on board. Nothing spreads the word about your company's participation faster than having upper management involved.
2. Use the "invite" option on your team's Active.com account to invite people via e-mail.
3. Talk about the event in your company's newsletter.
4. Invite clients and vendors. Use this as an outreach opportunity. 
5. Put up signs and posters around your office.
6. Use social media- blogs, Facebook, Twitter, etc. It's quick, easy, and best of all, free!
