Creative way to re-energize your Company

One of the best ways to re-engage your leadership with your employees is to have a job swap week (or even a day) Put all the names of employees in a random drawing pool and for one week the name you pick is the job you do from the CEO to the receptionist to the janitor.

Re-energizing your base and getting everyone out of their comfort zone is sure to establish the respectability of all the individual roles in a company and bring your entire team back together. These are different times with different circumstances and ego’s have gotten in the way. There are many issues ahead for all of us, personally, professionally and with the companies we like to buy from. We need to come together and honor and respect each other and our positions and roles and this is a cost effective way to do an in-house team building when the old “hunting trip” is no longer responsible spending.

It is time to know the names of the people you work with, make a point to get to meet someone new at work and take an interest in what they do and who they are. If you work for a smaller company expand that to people who work nearby. If you don’t work at a company get to know a new neighbor or the grocery boy’s name. By connecting with your fellow employees and respecting their work you will have a stronger conviction for who your representing and what your selling.

We are going to have to pull together as a community and support each other at the companies that we run. Building appreciation for the responsibilites of those around you makes the entire organization stronger.
