六大极限项目留住人才

莫斯亚当斯 上图：15名会计师为尼泊尔小镇斯哈克蒂纳加尔的一座农村学校挖地基。午饭后，他们会分头从事更多的体力劳动，与村长见面，或者在齐膝深的沼泽里抓鱼。 为了参加这项活动，每名莫斯亚当斯的员工都筹集了5,000美元，主要用于购买建材，支付路费和物流开支。另外他们还花了一个星期的假期时间和平均每人1,000美元的开销，帮当地人接种疫苗，以及提供个人用品。2012年10月的这次活动受到了员工的一致好评，今年秋天，该公司还会派出两支15人的团队，第二次参加由非盈利机构buildOn组织的义工活动。 这个活动是莫斯亚当斯的合伙人卢克•阿森诺特发起的，他说：“这是一段不同寻常的时光。它开拓了我们的视野，不仅是让我们到国外去旅行，而且还让我们接触到了一种新的文化，给我们带来了很大的好处。” 这个村子一向以基础条件差而闻名，街道上尘土飞扬，村里没有排水系统，也上不了互联网，有些村民是2000年才恢复自由身的契约佣人。阿森诺特说：“这些人每人获得了一小块土地和150美元，来开始新的生活。”村民们把自己有限的资源和劳动力贡献出来，在buildOn项目的支持下，为村里的孩子们兴建学校。 等莫斯亚当斯的员工回国后，他们有了更宏大的世界观，也会从全新的角度尊重体力劳动，甚至与公司同事的关系也变得更紧密了。 |
Moss Adams Picture the scene: 15 accountants dig the foundation for a school in the Nepalese village of Shaktinagar. After lunch, they split up to perform more manual labor, meet the village chief, or fish barefoot in knee-deep swamp water. For this privilege, each Moss Adams employee raised $5,000, primarily to pay for construction materials, as well as some travel and logistics expenses. They also spent a week of personal vacation time and an average of $1,000 on immunizations and personal supplies. The October 2012 experience was so popular that this coming fall, the firm will send two teams of 15 on a second expedition organized by the nonprofit buildOn. "It was an exceptional time," says Luc Arsenault, the partner at Moss Adams who spearheaded the trip. "To expand our horizons and travel abroad and be exposed to a new culture, there was a tremendous amount of benefit." Residents of the village -- notable for dirt streets, no plumbing, and no Internet access -- include former indentured servants freed in 2000. "They were given a parcel of land and $150 to start their life," Arsenault says. Villagers committed their own resources and labor in a buildOn partnership to build the school for the children in the community. Moss Adams employees returned home with a broader perspective on the world, a renewed appreciation for hard physical work, and even stronger connections to others at the firm. |
