Giving Back
In the true Christmas spirit, there is a growing tendency towards CSR and charitable team activities where employees can directly impact the community and “give back” to other underprivileged groups.

There are many such programs to choose from, such as bike making and toys for underprivileged children, miniature golf courses made from packaged foods that eventually go to local charities, and tree planting programs.
