The Trainer's
Corner
Leader's Want a Way To
Increase Productivity?
Purpose: To increase productivity
Description:
Prior to the start of a shift,
the supervisor purchases a roll of tickets, similar to those used at
amusement parks or theaters. On 250 of the tickets, the
supervisor writes a message (i.e., candy bar, soda pop, dress down,
supervisor gets on the phone, no prize, etc.) and places them in a
jar on the supervisor’s desk. Any remaining tickets are kept
for future contests. At the pre-shift meeting on the day of
the contest, the supervisor tells the team that, after making a
sale, individuals will draw a ticket from the jar. The contest
continues throughout the shift.
Supplies: |
Roll of tickets and a jar or
box. |
Results: |
The
team was motivated all day long. It helped increase
productivity, and the team finished #1in
sales! |
Length of Contest: |
One
day |
|
$15.00 for
prizes. |
Purpose: To increase productivity
Description:
The supervisor provides each team member with
$2.00 at the beginning of the shift. When a team member makes
a sale, the individual can go to another team member and take his or
her money, which may be more than $2.00 if that team member has
taken money from others. Once a team member has lost his or
her money, they will not be asked again until they have more.
At the end of the shift, each team member may keep whatever money
each has at that point.
Supplies: |
X amount of $1 bills
X = number of team members times
2 |
Results: |
Team
members who usually aren’t very focused on long-term goals
were focused during the contest. I used this contest
frequently and always had good results.
Productivity lasted until the last minute of the
day. |
Length of Contest: |
One

Description:
The supervisor draws a grid with 200 squares
(10x20, 20x10) on a whiteboard. For each grid square, the
supervisor prepares a card corresponding to the grid square
numbers (A1, A2, B1, B2, etc.) and writes the word “Prize” and a
description of the prize on a predetermined number of grid
cards, depending on the number of prizes allocated for the
contest. Other cards have the word “Sorry.” The
supervisor places all the cards in a container on his or her
desk. Prizes will be displayed throughout the day for
motivation. Each time a team member makes a sale, they write
their initials in a grid square of choice. (Only one rep may
occupy a square.) At the end of the shift, the supervisor
selects cards from the container corresponding to the grid squares
where team members placed their initials. Team members whose
cards have “Prize” win the designated prize. Team members
whose cards have “Sorry” win nothing. A team member may win
only one prize per shift.
