Extraordinary Work Team Recognition Day 2023: It’s Extraordinary Work Team Recognition Day every year on December 4. Are you part of a team at your company? Putting together teams of people with different skills to work together on a task can sometimes make it easier to finish. Extraordinary Work Team Recognition Day celebrates the work that teams do together and the people who do it.
A lot of people think that William McDougall was the first person to build a team. He set up a number of conditions for a group to work well together. The Hawthorne Studies may have something to do with the 1920s and 1930s, when the idea of a team first came up. Some of these studies tried to find out more about what happened to a group of workers in different situations. As one of the first studies, Elton Mayo, pointed out important traits for making a good work team.
It was shown that both internal and external social pressures affect how well a worker does their job and that informal groups at work affect the habits and attitudes of workers. Workers also thought that things like feeling appreciated for their work, being at ease, and being linked were more important than the physical conditions of their workplace. Because of these results, companies started to carefully think about how to organize their employees into useful work teams. These are still important things for human resource managers to think about.
Now is a great time to realize how important it is to work together if your business depends on employees working together to reach a shared goal using their energy, enthusiasm, and ability to inspire others. Give yourself some time to think about what you’ve done as part of a team. Gather your team together and recognize the successes of each member as well as the team’s general progress. If you’re a manager or boss with teams that report to you, let your workers know what they’ve done well and how it has helped the company succeed.
Give your staff gifts.
Giving gifts to work teams is one of the best ways to show how much they mean to the company. A good place to start is with an Amazon or iTunes gift card.
Have lunch with them.
As the saying goes, “all work and no play makes you a dull boy.” To work well together, you need to be able to relax together. Spending valuable time together outside of work can be good for teams. Do it!
Give them a break or extra money.
Give your coworkers a break or a bonus. You can thank them for their hard work by giving them a full or half-day off.
