If you are asked to join a Sourcing team in your company, here are seven reasons to say yes, even if you don't work in Purchasing.
1) You will meet people from across the organization.
2) It will provide significant material for your yearly review.
3) You may receive a bonus if large savings numbers are achieved.
4) You may get to learn about an area (including what happens behind-the-scenes) of the company to which you would otherwise not be exposed.
5) You will learn skills (such as negotiations and communication) that you can apply later to your job or outside life.
6) It will look good on your resume and sound good in interviews.
7) You can be proud knowing that you contributed to the health and financial well being of your company (and yourself by extension).
