It’s hard to place a “value” on team spirit. Many bosses want the hard numbers on return on investment. I truly believe increasing work morale is critical to any company’s success.
Planning work get togethers is important. Making time to bond outside of the work space is key to creating a fun, enjoyable atmosphere, which ultimately increases productivity. Absenteeism is obviously less of a problem when people actually want to come to work. It’s a mental health investment.
That’s why I’m a big fan of events like the Dragon Boat Races or The Merrett Home Hardware Run and Relay. These events are examples of great community development which also raise money for much needed charities.
I had a chance to chat with the Merrett Home Hardware Race and Relay race director, Deb Parberry about what the event is and how you register.
