Be Balanced
My favorite of Evan's 10 Rules is "Be Balanced".
There are many ways to create a "balanced" culture in your company, but one of them is to foster community service.
Here's a post by Matt Blumberg that talks about how his company, Return Path, does that.
Do you include Reserve service within community service? I had this conversation with my OC last year around the time he was setting up his company.
His initial aim was to support employees who wanted to serve but he realised that would off put employees who didn't serve. In the end he settled on a paid "community service" break that allowed employees to do community service (including Reserve service) over and above holidays.
