In April, I did a post on North Highlands Day of Giving Back. I’ve worked for North Highland, a global consulting firm since March 2011. The Day of Giving back took place on April 28th and 31 offices across the world got together to Invest in Human Potential by giving back to the communities they live and work. As I mentioned in my post, I was in charge of coordinating the three Central Florida North Highland offices, Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville.

On one of the coordinator calls prior to the Day of Giving Back, North Highland announced a contest: one office would be awarded $2,000 to give to their charity. The winning office would be decided by a variety of things including: highest office participation; social media activity; charitable donations.

Two weeks after the Day of Giving Back, I received a company wide email with accomplishments and halfway through the email, I had my biggest achievement since being employed with North Highland. Our team efforts won the $2,000! The Central Florida offices will split up the $2,000 between our three charities, and rounding it up to $700:

This was great timing for Metropolitan Ministries, who is currently doing a match campaign, so our $700 donation for the Tampa office will technically be $1,400!

Here is the email with some of the amazing things North Highland did in their communities worldwide.  It’s no wonder that we have been named by Consulting Magazine as the Best Firms to Work For, five years consecutively as #4 or higher and named the 2011 #1 large company to work for in Florida by Florida Trend Magazine – stay tuned to hear if we took the title for 2012!
