Coming Together to Create “WOW”

At the core of Convergint’s thriving culture of service is our annual Convergint Social Responsibility Day. Since 2002, on the first Friday in June, Convergint closes for a full, paid workday so that colleagues may go out to serve in their communities through various service projects.

Following this year’s Unite Orlando conference, the theme of Social Responsibility Day 2024 is “Create WOW,” a reflection of Convergint’s dedication to exceeding expectations and redefining exceptional service standards. Through initiatives aimed at giving back and creating impactful change in the community, Convergint strives to inspire colleagues to surpass what they believe is possible. Whether through volunteer efforts, innovative projects, or acts of kindness, Convergint aims to leave a lasting impression that uplifts and empowers those around us.

The global impact of giving back

At Convergint, our greatest strength is our people. Convergint colleagues made a substantial impact in the communities served for Social Responsibility Day 2024. This year, over 10,000 Convergint colleagues—in addition to family members and employees from partner organizations—volunteered at 200+ organizations in communities across the globe. The overall effort resulted in an estimated donation of more than $3MM in labor and equipment from Convergint colleagues, partners, and families around the world.

Our commitment to service

Convergint’s guiding Values and Beliefs have evolved since CSRD first started in 2002, but they continue to guide our culture of service to customers, colleagues, and communities. Each colleague is encouraged to live by these Values and Beliefs at work, at home, and in our communities. The goal of Social Responsibility Day this year was to highlight the significance of giving back, reflecting Convergint’s core Values and Beliefs.

STEP Up for Schools 2024

With the safety of students and faculty at top of mind, Convergint greatly expanded its STEP Up for Schools initiative for this year’s Social Responsibility Day to help create safer environments for students and teachers. Serving 22 schools across the U.S, including in Denver, CO., Atlanta, GA., , Cleveland, TX, and Seattle, WA,  over 700 Convergint colleagues provided free security upgrades and enhancements. To date, approximately 100+ schools have now received security donations from Convergint through this program.

In 2018, Convergint established its STEP Up—Secure, Train, Educate, and Protect—program to help strengthen school security at underserved schools in communities around the world. Through this program, Convergint colleagues and partners provide free interior and exterior security system installations, upgrades and assessments including work on cybersecurity, fire alarm services, and emergency communications. This year’s STEP Up projects featured upgrades including:

Installing new cameras, systems, monitors, and other equipment

Replacing cameras and outdated equipment

Conducting security checks and audits

Cleaning and maintaining existing equipment

Where We Helped

In addition to initiatives that bolster school security, Convergint colleagues also volunteered at over 120 different organizations globally. From volunteering at local food banks and shelters, to assisting youth camps and organizations for children with disabilities, to participating in reforestation and environmental cleanup projects, colleagues were encouraged to work with the organizations and causes that matter most to themselves and their communities.
