Creating a healthy competition among your employees

[Alexandoy]

In the production department creating a healthy competition is easy like in your example. Noting down the number of output is easy because the figures are tangible. But when it comes to other areas a healthy competition is difficult to implement. One example is in sales. Among the several salesmen in the store would not be good to make them compete with each other. It might affect the operation and the customer may not understand the eagerness of a salesman.

I once read a book authored by Dale carnegie titled— ‘How to win friends and influence people’. In that book he made mentioned that a student of his narrated to the class on how he boosted production at his workplace. The student said he noticed a decline in the production and he was losing money. Instead of him to reprimand his workers, he didn’t do that. He ordered a chalkboard and placed it where all his workers can see it on a daily basis. At the end of each working session, he writes the numbers of production on the chalkboard. He rubs off the previous Number and write the present one. He said he noticed a massive increase the production rate and his business started booming.
Notice he didn’t condemn his workers for the decline instead he created a healthy competition without sacking or spending much.

My question now is; How do you create a healthy competition in your work place?

The most important thing for a successful business is to provide a good working environment. It would be a great process if we could compete among the employees in terms of performance.This will allow everyone to know each other's characteristics and then use them to improve themselves.

I agree with your above explanation and it is one of the best way to increase productivity among worker and also healthy competition. I also feel if employers can give seasonal awards to their worker it will encourage others to sit up.

When we think about how to get more students to enroll in our school,then the board of trustees held a meeting among them selves and resolved into giving incentive to teachers and parents who brings anyone to enrol. This works a lot and we have a lot of enrollment for the session.

Make it fun. Work is naturally competitive. Everyone wants to do their best in their job to be recognized and promoted.
Monitor effects.
Compete in teams.
Encourage yourself to compete.
Stay focused on the end goal.
And last but not least, the headline made you read this article.

Competition in the workplace is inevitable, and it is in fact, valuable. Healthy competition encourages us to excel more, to take chances of opportunities, and to improve ourselves. If you feel insecure about your abilities for any reason, identify its source. Maybe you could use more training or professional and personal development to build your confidence and assuage lingering doubts about your skillset.

If this truly happened, then it means that the employer was also a great person that did no wrong to the employees. I have seen a scenario where the workers didn't accept any motivational move since the boss always suspend any of them at the slightest means possible.

I was in a healthy competition with all my coworkers until my employer created a competition that would end us. He brought a junior staff whom we thought was just a normal worker like us until we found out that there's something extra between them. It was competition until it became war! So when you notice some competitions, better avoid them than think you can flow and overcome.

I usually talk about how important the mindset is, some people have a very fun mind. Some people might go ahead to sack their employees and employ new ones only to find out that the situation remains the same.
In such a workplace, motivating employees to do better by setting a goal and rewarding hardwork works better than berating them for little mistakes they make, creating a healthy environment for competition helps everyone get along better and also improves the image of the company.

You can create a healthy competition among your workers by setting up a target with them. When you set up the target you need to be transparent about the whole process of choosing the winning. If you do otherwise the whole thing may like to back fire. I have witness this when I was still working for bottle water company. That is what the owner did to create a healthy competition among the teams.

The bestest way to create a healthy competition between your employees is to give them some tasks and targets and give the best one a award or an incentive. You can also organise some competition tasks between them and can gift the winner with useful stuff. These tactics will definitely be useful for them.

I think creating a healthy competition among your Employees is a great idea, because it will gear each worker up to be diligent at work and upright.
If you want to create a healthy competition among your Employees, you need not to be bias when it comes to gifting and compensations.

Some research studies suggest such competition can motivate employees, make them put in more effort, and achieve results. Indeed, competition increases physiological and psychological activation, which prepares body and mind for increased effort and enables higher performance.

The only one way I know to create health competition among your employees is that you should set a weekly task or daily task goals them Who achieve their goals should be reward by you. I think that will make them motivationalism.

Creating competition among employees is healthy. This is so because it gives one party the urge and vision to do better than his/her colleague. If there are no competitions, one will rely on his/her previous achievement. Healthy competition is needed amongst employees as well.

Of course this would be cool and all as if would make the employees bring out the best of their abilities and you can also give rewards or gift to the person you consider the best worker monthly or yearly just to encourage them . good luck

This is one of the best replies to this thread. The ability to get the best out of your staffs makes you a leader. Creating a healthy competition increases the productivity of a company. It’s only required of the CEO to make peace in the working environment
