The first Dataciders Social Day was held under the motto "Achieving more together". Numerous employees swapped their computers and desks for paintbrushes, hammers, saws and shovels for half a day to help the socially disadvantaged. The aim of this day was to give something back not only to their own company, but also to society.
A day dedicated to social commitment
This fall, Dataciders decided to replace many small team daysa joint social-Teamday to organize. This gave all employees the opportunity to get socially involved and, above all, to do something good for children. The location: Gut Königsmühle, a place for families run by the foundation help and hope foundation in Dortmund. Here, children can enjoy nature, community and support and support. The foundation is also committed to equal opportunities for all young people - a vision that Dataciders would also like to support.
Diverse tasks - working hand in hand
The Dataciders employees were divided into nine teams that worked on different projects. The agenda included tasks, such as renewing a tactile path, painting the playgrounds, pruning bushes and building a composting toilet. The autumnal weather did nothing to dampen the good mood. Everyone lent a hand and made visible improvements to Gut Königsmühle.
Corporate volunteering: more than just helping
The Social Day not only offered the opportunity to do something good, but also to broaden one's own horizons. "We want to give our employees a change of perspective," explained Fabian Garcia from the People & Culture team. "There's no harm in leaving your comfort zone and swapping your familiar working environment for something new." Employees from all departments - from working students tom management - pitched in together.
Conclusion of the Social Day: success all along the line
At the end of the day, the helpers were exhausted but very happy. Their efforts had not only resulted in visible successes at Gut Königsmühle, but also strengthened the sense of community within the Dataciders team. Everyone agreed that such a day of action could take place twice a year.
The Dataciders Social Day 2024 was a complete success - for the employees, the company and, above all, for the children and families who benefit from the improvements at Gut Königsmühle.
