Activity Days

Activity days are defined as those days in the work schedule that are set aside for something other than producing the product or service of the organization. Corporations who make a practice of scheduling such days have employees who have higher morale, lower attrition rates, better productivity and even fewer sick days than employees in businesses without such breaks in boring routine. Careful preparation must be a part of such days, since otherwise they can degenerate into a play day with no significant effect on employee morale. Here are some of the ways in which activity scheduling can provide advantages in the work flow.

Game days reduce boredom by a change of pace
When one day follows another with no appreciable difference in work or play days, employees productivity drops significantly. There is just nothing to look forward to. By having regular activity days, especially if they are tied to progress on a project or product development, employees will be able to stay alive and interested in the work that is part of the job. When game days provide a break in the monotony employees can look forward and it revitalizes the entire work atmosphere. This is even more notable if the event days are not allowed to be come stale or routine.

A change of pace reduces errors
Boredom leads to carelessness or inattention and inattention leads to errors, sometimes deadly ones.Errors of a physical nature can cause harmful accidents or injuries. Errors in fiscal calculations can cost the company thousands or even millions in repairing wrong estimates or paying to have a job redone.

Activity is good for the mental and physical health
Team building games don't have to be strenuous in order to provide physical health. However, if most employees are desk jockeys, having some games that are more active will provide a change of pace. If activities are planned to provide success in physical activities for the employees, their mental state is improved because they are happy and satisfied. Activities performed to perfection are a tremendous ego booster for employees, even if the activities have nothing to do with the current job duties.
