Promoting Social Well-Being There are many benefits of incorporating social engagements into your day-to-day life. Social interaction promotes strong psychological well-being. Interacting with others can help boost your productivity and decrease feelings of isolation. Research has shown that building social interactions can help boost your mood. Building Your McMaster Network Volunteering on an employee committee is a great way to learn more about the university and meet people you may not meet otherwise. There are so many different skill sets and perspectives you can tap into when you work with others outside your own department. This can lead to learning new skills or ideas that may benefit you and your team at work. A Sense of Purpose What’s more rewarding than seeing a project from the brainstorming phase to a finished product? Volunteering is a great way to work as a team to define and reach goals together. Most people want to volunteer to improve situations, present new ideas or help people. Being part of a volunteer committee allows you the opportunity to express your ideas and implement change. You have an opportunity to be creative, and all of your hard work benefits the McMaster community. |
