Employees Do Not Participate In The Activities!

Vinove
Dear Ravi,
Thanks for responding to my query but I would prefer to ignore your response as I think it is completely unprofessional and irrelevant.
Thanks anyways and I will appreciate if you do not respond on any topic posted by me, ever in future.

- I get that point and henceforth will make sure to take more opinions before organising something.
Thanks Bob. Any further suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Hi Guys,
When we plan such activites, to ensure dress code we need to make supervisor/HOD responsible and ensure that HOD downloads properly about the importance also need to ensure we from HR build and create interest on what you are planning.....if the entire HR stand as an example on one occassion....rest will follow HR, and all your such activities will be successful. When circulating any such mails to all the employees make it colorful with activity related pics on them so that it will be catchy and will spend time to go thru your mail....and all these small things will encourage you to go for many more EEA...

Dear Nadeem,

I appreciate your response.
The team is certainly not FUNNY but it's just that since it consists of employees from various teams who are not very experienced in dealing with Human behaviors, they tend to get disappointed when they invest a lot of time and effort in designing and organizing an event and a major chunk of employees does not reciprocate.
I think its HUMAN.

I take your point that there will never be a 100% participation and it will be a gradual process for employees to start enjoying such events.
When I say Punishing the employees, I literally do not mean it. The intent is to apply some technique which will motivate most of them to participate.
But if we do nothing to the employees who do not participate, the ones who have made some effort to do so, also do not take it seriously the next time.

But yes, it is a good idea to take suggestions from all during an event about the next activity.
And this team is dedicated towards organising various kinds of activities ranging from parties, quizzes, trips and CSR as well.

I look forward to more inputs.

I completely agree with your thoughts Navjot. We keep organising every kind of activity that we can possibly think of. It ranges from simple get togethers, outings, disc parties, simple dress theme, quizzes, ragging sessions with new joinees, talent hunt competitions and a lot of CSR initiatives are also taken.

Hey..Thanks for your inputs. We do follow up a lot with the supervisors and I personally believe that only supervisors can create such an impact/motivation in their teams. We can only give ideas and organise but it is never the IDEAL world out there.
Anyways, we are trying our best...your inputs are much appreciated.

You need to educate them first before motivating and keep a close track on them if its implemented

There are two things
second thing is that you should forget that all will do what you want...
First thing is that forget about giving punishment to people....This is corporate world.
Then you may say..that's my job, should I leave it then?
Answer is NO....But you can apply various trick to make them as a team..
e.g. put some gifts for those following dress code..or appreciate them in front of all so that others will fill shame...

You will agree that these activities are not really part of employees engagement (though it is said to be) but these are all part of activities of HR team to show up their strength and executing their goals, tasks that has been set. As long as the companies have the policy of Hire & Fire policy, there will not be really employees engagement and they will not also feel the belongingness no loyalty to the company. Human resources are not considered as asset but liabilities by the present regime of organisations. Hence you cannot expect 100% employees involvement in these activities but it depends on the timing and activities involved.
