The Event

• A multi-day Global Workshop dedicated to in-person training, recognition, and team building for 76 employees. One of the key team-building components at this Workshop was Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). 

The Challenge

• Inspired by the U.S.-based customer’s initiatives, focus on disability awareness as part of our CSR.
• Educate and inspire the team through a hands-on CSR team-building activity that embraces company’s core values.
•  Support the work of the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation, a charity based in Ireland,  a secondary CSR project, inspired by a European-based customer.

The Results

• In partnership, customer representatives were invited to share their company’s diversity, equity, and inclusion goals and to participate in a shared CSR experience. One guest later shared: “I’ll be forever grateful to MTA for organizing this impactful workshop; let’s carry its spirit forward as we shape the future of events, united in progress and celebration of diversity.”
