Create a local group to meet people on Communian. This website allows you to create a group and local events on any topic. Are you passionate about cycling? You can make a local cycling group and start organizing events! What are the benefits of local communities and how they help the human brain and soul? Friend Finder : even for the most outgoing, finding friends with whom you share a passion can pose a problem. Joining an interest group provides an immediate source of acquaintances, friends, and potential best friends — all of whom share your interests.
Huge interest based communities are local focused on Communian. Let’s take reddit for example: /r/buyitforlife If your stuff is always breaking down or falling apart on you, check in to this subreddit before your next upgrade. The good folks at /r/buyitforlife discuss the most durable products that can stand up to years of rigorous use, in every category ranging from home appliances to shoes to stationery. Even if you can’t find recommended items in your local stores, the posts are worth perusing to find out which brands make quality products and what features to look out for in alternatives available near you. I personally take note of things I need and try to buy them when I travel or have someone bring them when they visit.
Communian is all about social connections. Create a social spot. Sometimes it can be difficult for employees to socialize because they don’t have an area in the office where they feel comfortable doing so. Creating a “social spot” for your employees will give them an area where they can decompress or socialize without distracting other colleagues. Consider repurposing an empty area at your company to create a Zen room or game room for employees to hang out over their breaks. If you don’t have a spare room to use, try setting up some chairs or couches by popular spots for socializing in the office – like the break room or the area by the water cooler. Utilize wellness challenges. Rather than focusing solely on wellness challenges at the individual level, start creating team wellness challenges. For example, a team walking challenge will challenge colleagues to come together and compete as a team to take more steps in one month than other departments. Daily walking clubs are another excellent idea that can also be used to encourage social connections.
When you integrate into a community, you’re giving yourself the opportunity to connect with influencers and to raise your own profile. One of the most important things about networking is that you can get your name known by people who have the power to open doors for you. And ideally, you can return the favor for others.
