Get involved at work

The aim of We Are What We Do is to get as many people as possible doing simple, everyday actions to change the world.

We believe that there’s a huge amount of potential to engage people in supporting our message and completing our actions in the workplace. After all, it’s where we spend over 60% of our waking hours every week (what a depressing thought!).

With new Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) agendas and remarkable, motivated individuals contacting us every day wanting to make a difference, we’ve begun to frame some of our actions and activities around our working days. We’ve worked with businesses and organisations large and small, inspiring and helping many of them to integrate our actions into their CSR activities, kick start environmental programmes or even launch their own internal change programmes.

One of the simplest ways We Are What We Do is brought to life in the workplace is through our second book ‘Change the World 9 to 5’. It contains 50 simple actions for the workplace which will change the world if enough of us do them. This little book has really struck a chord with businesses and a wide range of organisations such as Virgin Atlantic, Accenture, Eurostar, Price Waterhouse Coopers, BBC, Marks and Spencer, Sainsbury’s & Barclays to name but a few.

But we also work hard to bring our actions to life off the page and we know that sometimes the messages most important to your organisation are pretty hard to communicate internally. With that in mind, here are a few suggestions you may find helpful:

If you find our story inspiring and would like to inspire your staff too, contact us and we can arrange to have one of our co-founders, David Robinson or Eugenie Harvey (both experienced public speakers) to tell the story of We Are What We Do to your internal audiences, or indeed at relevant conferences or events.
We are a small team with limited resources but We Are What We Do loves the opportunity to be creative and help you come up with new ideas that are specific to your company. If you have something specific in mind, contact us and we can work together to create communications of particular relevance to your colleagues.
If you’re a motivated individual trying to create a stir all on your own, take a look at the free downloads available on our website. To help you motivate others we’ve gathered together information about We Are What We Do, our logo, and a few images you can cut and paste into presentations or company emails. There are also some great short films you could show as an ice breaker or send round to colleagues to create a viral buzz from behind the Formica.

For more information you can download ‘How we work with companies’ to read testimonials, see examples of our work and get all heady with excitement over the possibilities within your own work environment. Or get yourself to our online market stall to buy our books.
