Creative Contest Ideas for Boosting Employee Engagement in Your Organization

Dear Sir/Madam, What are the contests we can arrange in the organization as engagement activities? For example: photography, fashion show.

Hi, it depends on the space availability in your office. Equally important is the availability of employees for engagement activities among their busy work schedules. Subject to the above, you can conduct various activities. Plenty of resources are available online.

If you are having employee engagement problems, you should first seek to investigate and solve that problem. Playing games and having contests will not solve it. I would also add that contests could well be the worst thing you do as it sets employee against employee and creates animosity between those with skills in the area of the contests and those who do not have the skills. There will also be employees who do not want to engage in such activities. You could end up creating even bigger problems.

As a former employee who hated this sort of nonsense, I speak from experience. It never worked in any organization I worked for when tried.

Understanding employee engagement through some fun games shows a deplorable lack of understanding of the concept itself. In this forum, it has been clarified many times, yet such queries persist. It's frustrating to see them repeatedly.
