Be a Sport

If you are looking for a healthy, exciting, and fun way to generate recognition for your employees, take a look at company-sponsored athletic teams. You can easily find leagues in most cities for such sports as bowling, soccer, softball, volleyball, and many more.

When employees are on a company athletic team, recognition comes from all over the lot. Employees on these teams get recognition every time the team does anything, starting with the team’s formation and ending with its final game. This recognition also includes write-ups and photos on the company Website and Wall of Fame.

There is a great deal of recognition tossed back and forth among the players on these teams, and it is turbocharged when it comes from teammates who happen to be part of senior management. In fact, conversations among teammates often include more than sports, and they can easily open doors to choice assignments and opportunities.
