class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthy competition at the workplace influences employees to perform at their full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Allows_employees_to_set_stretch_goals\"><\/span><strong>Allows employees to set stretch goals<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Competition at the workplace is not only about competing with others, it is also about competing with oneself. Therefore, an organization with a competitive work environment continuously raises the performance bar and challenges employees to achieve it, setting a pattern of constantly pushing for higher goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-improves-collaboration\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improves_collaboration\"><\/span><strong>Improves collaboration<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Team activities are a great way of creating competition between employees within the corporation. For instance, Clayton Homes, a large home building company in the US, carried out a competitive event for their sales team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Groups of sales representatives had to compete, and each team would earn points based on the number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cience.com\/blog\/cold-calling-scripts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cold calls<\/a>, customer appointments, and sales. This initiative evoked a sense of alliance among employees and also spiked the company&#8217;s sales figures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-encourages-innovation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Encourages_innovation\"><\/span><strong>Encourages innovation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A competitive environment that elicits excitement leads employees to find innovative solutions to win. In a study conducted by <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2017\/03\/the-pros-and-cons-of-competition-among-employees\">HBR<\/a>, employees expressed that they would resort to creative means, such as invent new technology processes in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/ebook-how-to-shape-a-workplace\/\">healthy competitive environment<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-create-healthy-competition-in-the-workplace\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Create_Healthy_Competition_In_the_Workplace\"><\/span><strong>How To Create Healthy Competition In the Workplace<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"h-competition-at-the-workplace-can-be-both-healthy-and-unhealthy-the-responsibility-of-carrying-out-the-competition-in-the-right-way-falls-on-the-manager-and-the-hr-team-here-are-some-strategies-to-ensure-the-implementation-of-healthy-competition\">Competition at the workplace can be both healthy and unhealthy. The responsibility of carrying out the competition in the right way falls on the manager and the HR team. Many businesses give weightage to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.collarsearch.com\/blog\/hr-outsourcing-definition-need-benefits\">HR outsourcing benefits<\/a> for carrying out such activities responsibly. Here are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/hr-policy-setup-resource-page\/\">some strategies to ensure the implementation of healthy competition<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gamify-the-competition\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gamify_the_competition\"><\/span><strong>Gamify the competition<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gamification is the application of game strategies to a non-game environment. Add elements like leaderboard, scores, points, and rewards to make it a fun experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/5-games-for-building-office-camaraderie_b_3895959\">finding<\/a> shows that a playful work environment motivates employees and reduces stress. Fitness contests at the workplace are an excellent example of gamification. Employees earn points for exercising and can track progress on the leaderboard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-focus-on-winning\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Focus_on_winning\"><\/span><strong>Focus on winning<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An organization should incentivize the competition by focusing on rewarding rather than humiliating. Fear of being called out for not performing or being publicly humiliated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/mental-health-of-remote-employees\/\">creates an environment of anxiety and stress. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People do not prosper in such stressful surroundings. The purpose of the competition is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/ways-to-motivate-employees\/\">encourage employees to do their best<\/a> and not demotivate them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-establish-a-culture-of-open-communication\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Establish_a_culture_of_open_communication\"><\/span><strong>Establish a culture of open communication<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Open communication is essential to healthy competition in the workplace. People should be allowed to freely express themselves, have constructive debates, and share their opinion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Competition at the office is an exercise to bring employees together, and having an open-door policy will allow employees to learn from one another. Also, it increases visibility and supports workplace learning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-give-effective-feedback\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Give_effective_feedback\"><\/span><strong>Give effective feedback<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Feedback should be part of the competition. While competition boosts the quantity of work, feedback regulates the quality. Every company must have a system of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/avoid-bias-in-performance-reviews\/\">giving honest and unbiased feedback in place<\/a>. Employees want to perform better, and they can do so only when they get clarity on what to improve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-set-quantifiable-goals\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Set_quantifiable_goals\"><\/span><strong>Set quantifiable goals<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An organization works with a varied group of people that has different capabilities. Vague goals like &#8216;the highest-selling salesperson&#8217; can discourage ones who are still working on themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it is essential to level the playing field by setting quantifiable goals like &#8216;the first salesperson to sell ten products.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-things-to-avoid-in-workplace-competition\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_To_Avoid_In_Workplace_Competition\"><\/span><strong>Things To Avoid In Workplace Competition<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Though there are many benefits of healthy competition at the workplace, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, if not done right, competition at the workplace can negatively impact employee morale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-animosity\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Animosity\"><\/span><strong>Animosity<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An uncontrolled office competition can become toxic. People may bully each other and harbor enmity &#8211; turning a friendly competition in the workplace into something hostile. Make sure to put checkpoints in place to prevent negative behavior and cultivate sportsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-unfair-means\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unfair_means\"><\/span><strong>Unfair means<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To quote an <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2017\/03\/the-pros-and-cons-of-competition-among-employees\">instance<\/a>, Wells Fargo employees secretly opened millions of unauthorized credit card and bank accounts to achieve their sales target. Unethical practices are harmful and can adversely affect the company. Disciplinary measures should be in place to ensure that nobody resorts to unfair means to get ahead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-not-for-everyone\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Not_for_everyone\"><\/span><strong>Not for everyone<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A competitive environment is not for every employee. A company should not force competing on all individuals. While competition at the workplace will work wonders for the sales team, it might not be appropriate for the IT maintenance team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The benefits of healthy competition at the workplace is dependent on its core objective. Increasing topline revenue, getting clients, and increasing sales is the end goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, opening lines of communication, promoting innovation, and creating a fluid company culture is the purpose of creating a competitive environment. When competition in the workplace evokes the right culture, it will translate into long-term success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Healthy competition to cultivate happiness at work and increase organizational goals and aims.
