Lower the number of negative employee emails by running good tream building programs

By: Len McGrane

The research findings on office email have to been repeated slowly to be believed. One of these studies reports 130 million office workers send an amazing 2.8 billion emails every working day. (That's from D Hawkins, writing on office politics in the computer age workplace.)

Email gives a business potentially large economic savings in paper, postage and associated items. Obviously. At the same time, however there's the same huge potential for disgruntled employees to use email at their desk to leak commercial secrets (maybe accidentally), use up work time, grumble to outsiders (including competitors), and make negative comments about their employer.

A corporate team building program can lower this electronic threat. Here are two reasons for this.

First, effective teambuilding programs produce employee loyalty.

This happens because when you're together in a team you tend to grow to like each other. So its difficult to dislike the company that the others all like! What's more, a good team helps each members to perform better, and when we're performing at work we naturally feel good about the company that hires us.

Moreover, teambuilding programs frequently draw members together.

Inexpensive or costly, entertainment-style team building events will grow the friendships already there in the team. For this reason, free concert tickets or a family vacation, either can develop friendships in the team. The same thing can happen in those formal events that train (rather than entertain). Members grow in confidence and appreciation of each other. It's not easy to break these sort of friendships.

Members of teams like these are almost certainly not going to email compaints about their company.

Well run corporate teambuilding programs can do more than just raise productivity. They can also reduce the caustic effect of negative, employee-written emails.
