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.
