Introducing Competitions amongst Employees

March 18, 2008 - PRLog -- Webgreeter.com has decided to introduce competitions amongst employees to step up the employee morale and overall productivity by a notch. This not only implies actual competitions. The intention is to infuse the work place with competitiveness and team spirit.

Webgreeter.com has devised an excellent exercise for this purpose. Now what happens is that employees are divided into teams of equal numbers and each team is headed by a supervisor, who is responsible for the team’s performance. The teams are given assignments to be completed within a set deadline. This scheme is surprisingly effective, since employees get to know each other personally, form closer bonds and work towards a common goal. This spirit also serves them later in the work place since they learn to work as a team.

Most importantly, through these competitions, employees invariably learn to depend on each other. You cannot produce outstanding results if a team comprises of two skillful and two uncooperative members. These competent members depend on other members to produce the necessary results. And if a team does well, all the members are praised for it, including even those who did not necessarily contribute towards it.

Therefore, this activity teaches employees to share responsibilities and rewards equally.

It is through teamwork that employees work together to attain a common goal and produce results that exceed expectations. It has to be borne in mind that achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual. Thus, everyone depends on each other, which is why team spirit is so vital to any organization.

Through this exercise, Webgreeter.com does not only seek to build team spirit but also create a competitive atmosphere, which is ideal for a work place. The employees are constantly driven to outperform the others thereby enhancing their craft and increasing overall productivity. Inculcating employees with team spirit makes for healthy working relationships and everyone desires a good working relationship. Competitiveness and team spirit make for increased motivation in employees and this leads to extraordinary performances, which is why these two elements are central to any organization.
