What I learned from Silent Auction by PS | Publicis Sapient Employee Reviews

All organizations, whether big or small, contribute to society through different initiatives. While this is nothing new, I got surprised when I heard of 'Silent Auction' by Publicis Sapient. 

Hey folks,

You may have read many Publicis Sapient Gurgaon reviews on work before. However, I am discussing a CSR activity by Publicis Sapient today. The organization performs many CSR activities year-round, in which volunteers devote their time and effort to various NGOs and underprivileged people. Besides these contributions, the organization also held auctions where the amount collected goes to noble causes. What caught my curiosity about these auctions is the categorization: Loud Auction and Silent Auction.  

Why is this called ‘Silent Auction’?

Silent Auction celebrates the 'silent' zeal of individuals who offer multiple services on the platform and raise small contributions. This year, people offered exciting services in diverse categories, such as entertainment, art, food, travel and learning. I had also offered a 'service' and have shared it within my workgroups. It was exciting to contribute to a noble cause and meanwhile enjoy the feeling of belongingness. All of the money raised through small contributions will help people in creating a brighter future. 

A little history of ‘Silent Auction’ over the years

Publicis Sapient first organized this auction theme in 2010 and since then has conducted successful auctions over the years. This is a fun event where people can bid for fun services like a DJ party for a team with soft drinks and snacks. I visited previous news articles on ‘Silent Auction’ by Publicis Sapient and was surprised with the fun people had at the event. A simple bid of Rs.5000 went so high that the team took it to the 'Loud Auction' event as well. That bid closed at a whopping price of more than Rs.1 lakh in the end! I am still in wonder after reading this article.

I am closing this post on a happy and proud note!
