Volleyball Training To Enhance Teamwork In The Workplace

Posted by in Sports | Comments Off

I would say that I am impressed with the turnout of Volleyball Training that we just had. The training is intended to enhance the teamwork in the workplace as well as to serve as an avenue for each worker to know each other more. I would say that it turned out good as well as it had good results. At the start, I never really thought about the essence of the activity and how it can possibly promote teamwork. Actually, when I hear about enhancing teamwork in the workplace, I thought about some boring activities such as leadership trainings and seminars wherein we will be confined in one room and allowed to sit in long tables to listen to a discussion and perhaps have some exercise after that. But I predicted it wrong and was delighted that it wasn’t made that way for as for me, it has been an old and becoming ineffective way to develop friendship and enhance teamwork in the workplace.

Personally I believe that to be able to enhance the teamwork in the workplace, workers need to see each other in some places outside the workplace. This is to let them know each other more rather than a common officemate or a boss. The fact is that, teamwork is human relations and that is not something you can teach to people over a single lecture and expect them to absorb and learn it by the moment just like a professor to his students. This is not the same as developing friendships and enhancing teamwork in the workplace. I am pleased that this year, the company has suggested having a Volleyball Training to be participated by all workers.

The Volleyball Training was participated by all the workers. The difference here is that, everybody else is wearing comfortable attires and not the usual dignified looking coat and tie. This has ultimately developed workers to be more at ease with each other and have this feeling that everybody is his friend and start to be fond with one another. In the training we were also taught on how to jump higher which is precisely the goal of the company this year. To jump higher is just similar to extending and expanding our market this year and we as workers of the said firm are all taught on how to do that together.
