Description
Research Institutes are convinced that several women in this century have a genetic modulation that makes them almost super-human! Taking the lead on this, some global iconic women teamed up to join a secret service to introspect and analyse the secret ingredient that one could have, which makes a superhuman!
When they were at their task to reveal the secret receipt, a giant research company abducted these women to keep the recipe a secret and use it to their selfish advantage!
In this Compete to Collaborate program, your team is tasked to rescue one of these iconic women thus and unveil the secret recipe. Whilst teams are competing in this race to discover the secret ingredient; there is a switch in the plot. The teams realise they cannot achieve this task on their own.
The iconic women they are rescuing have given them a small part of the main recipe; only with the collaborative efforts of teams together, the secret recipe will be unveiled.
Benefits
- Trust and respect
- Getting to know one’s work colleagues better personally helps to develop trust. When your employees come to learn of each other's capabilities and interests, this will lead to better collaboration with tasks and improved morale.
- While working together on problem-solving tasks in this game, a level of respect is gained between employees because they can see that their colleagues are there to help them and they can also identify skills and qualities that each other have.
- Increased productivity
Better communication and collaboration will have a positive knock-on effect on productivity levels. By working together on a common goal, duplication of work is decreased, there is less friction and resistance, and therefore better output from each staff member. - Improving communication
This exercise encourages staff to communicate with each other to complete tasks and solve problems. By putting people in a fun and relaxing environment outside the workplace, they will be encouraged to relax, be themselves and open up to others. - Encourages innovative thinking
Employees will need to use soft skills not normally utilised in the workplace (i.e. problem-solving, creativity) to complete this activity. - Employee engagement
By involving employees in collaborative activities, they will be encouraged to interact more and in future meetings in the workplace. - Identification of leadership qualities
Employers and managers will be able to identify leaders within the workforce while taking part in this activity as they take charge of problem-solving tasks, and work with and encourage other members of the team. - Greater task delegation skills
Employees must identify strengths amongst themselves, delegate tasks and communicate effectively to find solutions to the puzzles. - Goal setting
By setting achievable goals within the game and accomplishing them, employees will gain a sense of fulfilment, further encouraging them to set goals within the workplace.
