ere's a neat
way to
boost team
morale: Ask each
employee to submit
a fun fact about her
life away from work,
then list the interest-
ing tidbits down one
side of a sheet of
paper and the
employees' names in
random order down
the other. Hand out copies of the sheet at a staff meeting and give
your team about a week to match the fun facts to the right person.
Awarding a small prize to the staff member who makes the most cor-
rect matches is a nice gesture, but the real team building occurs as
staff joke and laugh while trying to guess who's who. We've found that
the game creates a new energy level and lightens the mood within the
facility. Staff members also appreciate the opportunity to learn more
about their colleagues, and enjoy talking about the interesting aspects
of their own personal lives.
