Creating Purpose at Work

“We have been partnering with Troop for over a year now. Through Troop, all our team members have a voice in how we all contribute to and support the communities we live and work in. Team members are engaged, encouraged, and see the real impact that we can make together. From monthly voting to other creative ways to engage our team members - like kit packing events - the Troop team has been a great partner.”

“We tried out Troop, and it just became easier to sustain a way of connecting with the community, and like not letting it fizzle out. Now, we bring it up in our all-hands every month. There’s always the ‘woop woops' from the team - people enjoy learning about the need filled that month. It puts a smile on their faces. The program really does engage everybody.”

“The benefit of Troop is that it’s not a one off, people talk about how it’s time to vote again. It’s the time to get involved. To make any kind of change, you need to go past one-off style initiatives. You need to find ways to institutionalize things by creating long, partnership-style engagement.”

“Awareness and consistency can drive a change in behaviour. You can’t stop a giving program, you've just gotta keep going. With Troop, people read about the needs we fulfill each month and then bring it up in conversation with colleagues, family and friends.”

“Troop helps form the culture at work where everyone’s voice is heard. When employees have ideas or causes they are passionate about, it’s important for them to know that leadership is listening. Being part of Troop is a way to encourage that voice.”

“As a certified B Corp and an organization that places integrity and accountability as core values, we're excited to join Troop and show our support for local communities in Canada.”

“Community is everything to us. We have 7 retail locations across the GTA. With Troop, we can discover local needs and easily engage our employees and customers in giving back to those communities.”
