Many corporations are forging relationships with art and
cultural programs to promote creativity and innovation in
their work cultures. Here are two effective ways to engage
employees through art-based approaches:

3. EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
• - In-Service Days. Organizations can set aside time devoted
to training their staff members on a sector-relevant topic
through an art-based learning lens. Examples include
conducting creative technique workshops and inviting
speakers with expertise on the arts in a business context.
- Volunteerism. Encouraging and connecting staff members
to volunteering opportunities is a proven way to boost
employee morale and increase the company's profile in the
community. Businesses can work closely with arts
organizations and support their efforts through financial or
material donations or by sponsoring an exhibition or event.
