למה חשוב לארגן לעובדים שלנו יום גיבוש?
When we work alone from home we should not mix with other people and make contact with them. When we work in a store, factory or office the situation is different. Almost every workplace has a number of employees and if we want the atmosphere in our workplace to be positive and good we need to find a common denominator that will connect all our employees. When we invest and organize a formation day for our employees we allow them to get to know each other better and then it can be more convenient for them to collaborate while working. An employee formation day can allow our employees to learn to trust each other and learn how to improve their interpersonal communication with the other employees in our business. These formation days can be a very enjoyable experience that will enrich our employees as well as us.
How does the atmosphere in our work affect employee productivity?
When the atmosphere in our workplace is murky then the productivity of our employees is poor at best and insufficient at worst. In order for people to do their job best they need to come to work with a smile - they need to feel comfortable at work and be comfortable with it. When we invest time and effort in improving the atmosphere in our workplace we make the workplace a place where there is more space for doing, growth and sharing - qualities that are essential for the success of any business.
How can the atmosphere in our work be improved?
So how can we improve the atmosphere in our work? There are many ways that can allow us to improve the atmosphere in our workplace. These ways include, but are not limited to:
- הנהגת כללי נימוס בין העובדים (למשל אסור לקלל או להרים את הקול על עובד אחר)
- יצירת חלל בעבודה להפסקות צהריים או הפסקות קפה בהן העובדים יכולים לנוח ולהתחבר אחד לשני
- ארגון ימי כיף וגם יום גיבוש לעובדים פעם או פעמיים בשנה לפני החגים או בקיץ
- ציון חגים ומועדים מיוחדים בעבודה
- ציון ימי הולדת של העובדים בעבודה
The more we make our workplace a warmer and more family-friendly place the more our employees will be happy to be a part of it and they will do a better job.
Which activity is suitable for fun days and employee formation?
When we organize fun and formation days for our employees we need to organize for them a fun day where each one of them will enjoy. There are many different types of fun days. There are even companies that raise their heads and take all their employees on a concentrated vacation in Eilat or the Sea of Galilee. As part of the fun day we can take our employees to group activities like cooking workshops, craft workshops or city or outdoor tours. Forming activities can include a shared bus ride, a joint viewing of an entertainment show or workshops to improve communication and emotional capacity.
Why is sometimes a simple activity much more enjoyable than a luxury activity?
Sometimes we should organize for our employees a very simple activity and not a prestigious activity because simple activities are the most spoonfuls and fun. Simple activities can be a football or basketball tournament for all company employees or an athletics tournament for all our employees. Other activities can be boating on the river or a formative activity on the beach. It is important that we choose an activity that suits the vast majority of our employees and it is important that we are aware that there will always be employees who are not satisfied with the activity we have chosen. When the vast majority of employees will be able to enjoy the activity we have chosen we will know that we have succeeded in meeting the task.
