Winning feels good and that feel good factor will feed through across your business. Everyone enjoys winning and having contributed to the success will boost your staff’s morale and their pride in being a member of the organisation.
That pride and happiness will deliver a return to your bottom line. Research shows that staff who are happy in their jobs are 12% more productive than those who are not. Winning an award, as long as you ensure everyone has ownership of the success, will help your staff feel better about themselves, their work and the company, but most importantly it will probably improve their performance.
Winning also shows that, as individuals, a team and an organisation, you are playing to your strengths and that you’re on the right track. As a company, if you know the strengths of your team and have your employees working towards them, you’ve got a much better chance of being successful in everything you do.
