New Methods Using Games Improve Productivity In The Workplace

June 5, 2012 - PRLog -- Reston, Virginia USA (June 5, 2012) -- Games and ice breakers have long been used for team building purposes at retreats, conferences and special meetings, however, Darcie Davis, founder of the new site http://www.GamesandTeamBuilding.com demonstrates that a “games-way-of-thinking” can be used in small ways on a daily basis to help employees bond and work more efficiently together.

Darcie Davis (“The Game Gal”), a management consultant and former corporate executive, has a track record for using creative approaches to problem solving. Through the new website, http://www.GamesandTeamBuilding.com, she has developed a new business line to be used as a tool for managers who struggle with people problems.

“While serving as an employee and later as a consultant,” Davis says, “I worked with people in morbidly stressed work environments.  Many companies try to remedy this by providing expensive and time-sapping team building retreats that bring small results.  Simple changes using a games-way-of-thinking can yield big results in helping people understand and work within their differences.  Productivity and morale will markedly improve.  It’s more than creating a fun place to work; it’s creating a business environment that works.”

“I watched many acquisition deals fail due to cultural disparities so difficult and strong that the executives were unable to hold the newly-joined companies together.  Companies growing by acquisitions can deflate the high levels of stress after the deal is done by planning for and incorporating levity and creative games to get the new teams integrated quickly.”

Davis offers products and services focused on the application of levity in the work place as an alternative solution to people problems.

http://www.GamesandTeamBuilding.com/products is positioned to be the go-to resource for team building activities, ice breakers and problem solving in situations where people and their unique personalities are involved.
