T-Shirts and Team Building

It's surprising how some simple things such as distributing t-shirts with company logo on employees can go a long way in building a team spirit. Today we asked our team to come pick t-shirts with the color, size and style of each one's choice. It was like a mini-party where each went through the different t-shirts checking for an appropriate size and a color that he liked. After that we all had a group photo, actually many photos together. It was very nice. Then several of us got their camera phones and kept taking still more photos of us together. When we went back to our desks, still wearing the shirts as none seemed to want to take them off even after we were finished with taking the photos, everyone appeared to get back to work with a better spirit. That's what I call team building. It's amazing how simple things as t-shirts with company logos given to employees can go a long way in inducing a team spirit.

    Belongness is what people need:

    You are 100 percent correct about the team Spirit thing, cause people always need to feel that they belong to something, and the proof of that what was happening during the African Cup of Nation all the Egyptians - young and old, men and women - gathered to courage a football team which represents Egypt and represents themselves, and that's exactly what was your company trying to do, your company wanted to raise the belongness feeling of the employees to it, and I see that the good director( employer ) is the one who can make all of his employees feel as one and who can make them proud of what they are and what theyr'e doing to raise their productivity.
    Thanks for shring your experiences....
