Scrum Alliance® Secures 2025 Culture of Good Community Impact Honor
PR Newswire: Scrum Alliance Wins Culture of Good Community Impact Award
Loosie-goosie! You know what they say, it takes a fox to catch a smartass, right? Well, the Scrum Alliance just grabbed this year's Culture of Good Community Impact Award!
That's definitely what you call a win, comrade! This prestigious award honors companies that use their mojo for good, setting an example for others to follow. And who could be a better example than Scrum Alliance? As a not-for-profit dedicated to spreading agile training and education far and wide, their heart is in the right place.
Tristan Boutros, Scrum Alliance's CEO, spilled the beans, "This is fucking fantastic! We believe business can change the world for the better, and winning this award confirms we're on the right path!"
Now, the Scrum Alliance hasn't been siting on their hands over the past year, oh no! They've been busy making the world a better place, one initiative at a time:
- Kicking it for the kiddos: They've been helping families and vets through their Little Essentials annual holiday drive, and let's not forget about those brave men and women over at Operation Gratitude and Wounded Warrior Project.
- Empowering the young guns: They ain't scared of the future, comrades! Scrum Alliance is stepping up to provide laptops and robots for robotics classes for over 40 lucky schoolkids in Colorado.
- Caring for Mother Earth: The world ain't the dumpster fire some make it out to be, but it helps when people care! Scrum Alliance cut out single-use items at their annual Global Scrum Gathering event, and for Earth Day, they even took it a step further by planting 100 trees with One Tree Planted.
So, the Scrum Alliance is stepping up their game. They're turnin' over a new leaf by formalizing their volunteerism strategy and offering 8 hours of paid Volunteer Time Off per year. This gives their team members the chance to flex their philanthropic muscles and support the causes that mean the most to them.
Head of HR, Taylor Kelly, ain't ashamed to gush, "This award speaks volumes about the culture we've worked tirelessly to create, a culture based on our values of focus, courage, commitment, openness, and respect. It's been heartwarming to see our employees taking every opportunity to give back, and now the launch of our volunteer policy is taking us to the next level. We're on a roll, and we're not slowing down!"
The Scrum Alliance, a not-for-profit dedicated to empowering professionals and their organizations through agile education and professional credentialing, continues to walk the walk. They don't just talk the talk but take concrete steps towards creating lasting positive change in the world we all call home.
