We bring you another fun activity in addition to or in place of Thanksgiving Wall or Appreciation@Desk to inculcate the sense of recognition and gratitude among team members.

Recognition Throne

Recognition is a great motivator and fun exercise. This activity will not only make team members feel grateful towards each other but also encourage them to be more kind and helpful.

Following are the simple steps to carry out this activity. It can be easily carried out in an hour’s time.

• Emails can be circulated to the team members about this activity (including date, time and venue).
• This activity requires a single chair with possibly a banner that says, “Recognition Throne”.
• Have each member of the team sit one on Recognition Throne, one at a time, for 5 minutes each.
• While a member is seated, everyone else speaks about what they appreciate about this person and expresses gratitude for their work / helping nature / good qualities, etc.
• To make this activity even more engaging, a token of appreciation can be given to each member by the team leader.
• Bonus ideas:
  • Get the chair designed well to get special feel. You may even get it designed in the shape of throne.
  • Reward the most fun / heart-warming appreciations.

After experiencing the joy of gratitude with the Recognition Throne at your workplace do share pictures with us at connect@monkatwork.in

Do come back here tomorrow, as we add the fourth ActOfGratitude. Happy Thanksgiving!
