We strive to strengthen the communities in our operating regions through charitable and locally-based initiatives with a focus on Mental Health and vulnerable youth.
Providing world class patent and technology intelligence has allowed us to forge important relationships with our clients. Our employees, customers and investors undoubtedly benefit from a bigger and better company, but we also want to ensure we can give back to the community in a meaningful way through our charitable and community-based initiatives.
TechInsights makes mental health a priority by actively facilitating a workplace of support. This year we had the pleasure of supporting The Royal Hospital by sponsoring their online auction for their annual marquee event ‘The Inspiration Awards’, which recognizes the diligent efforts and passion of people within the community working tirelessly to help eradicate the stigma surrounding mental illness.
Our longstanding relationship with United Way includes supporting their many initiatives through our fundraising program efforts. We are excited to announce that we will be taking part in a new initiative commencing 2021 – TechInsights After School (STEM) Learning Club at the Britannia Community House – aimed at high school-aged youth. This educational program will foster safe spaces designed for at-risk/vulnerable youth, and help:
Our global employees support charities in their own community and corporately, we want to encourage and support this effort! TechInsights matches up to US $100 for each employee donation, every year.
In addition, all employees have 1 paid day annually to be used in support of a charity of their choice. Some recent examples of how employees have spent their day include:
Staff volunteer to prepare backpacks full of supplies for early childhood education, elementary, middle school and high school students, delivered to 400 students at a Back to School Bash, held in Denver and Longmont, Colorado.
Proud to support local hockey in the capital! 8 teams with the Nepean Minor Hockey Association will carry the TechInsights logo on their game day jerseys. 3 teams from Minor Atom, 3 teams from Major Atom and 2 Minor Peewee teams.
Once a year, a local breeder joins us onsite with puppies! Employees can play and connect with the dogs, which gives them necessary social exposure to larger crowds.
Employees are encouraged to purchase tickets for the weekly prize draws, with raised funds supporting the United Way.
Ongoing efforts to support the Queensway-Carleton Hospital’s mental health initiative include company bbqs, craft sales, and other donation drives.
This is a mental health campaign administered through the Canadian Mental Health Association that we have joined. We provide employees with access to resources and tools to help start the conversation about developing good mental health practices and continue to work towards ending the stigma that surrounds it.
We offer many initiatives aimed at helping to support the United Way throughout the year including providing support for their ‘Community Action Day’ initiatives. The most recent event was in support of Ottawa Community Housing’s effort to refresh the Ashgrove community.
Family Fun Day, Golf Tournament, Sports and Athletics (soccer, volleyball, curling, yoga, fitness boot camp), Lunch and Learns, Company family bike and walk events, and more.
