Team Building Welcoming in New Faces

Take time to build as a team. The more unified your group is the better they will perform and meet expectations.

Throughout the last couple months at SERVPRO of Spencer & Iowa Great Lakes we have had the opportunity to welcome new faces, unfortunately that meant saying goodbye to a few as well.  We took that opportunity to create a day to spend as a team and get to know one another.  

Our management team firmly believes in the fact that oftentimes we spend more time with our work family than we do our own at home, so why not spend the time to grow as a family too?  We decided to take an afternoon off and play a few games having members of our management team, our construction team, and our production team intermix and work together on our communication skills.  

One game we had was a "know your equipment" relay, as we all eventually work a different job throughout the course of the year we felt that it was a great opportunity to ensure everyone knew what each piece of equipment did. 

The second game we did a load the truck challenge, some days get hectic and we need all vans prepped and ready to go and this challenge helped remind everyone where everything was and what equipment was needed in the event of a major water loss.  

The final game was Hammerschlagen, which gave a little favor to our construction crews but was a team effort as everyone competed to be the first to sink their team's nail into the log.  

Overall it was a fantastic day with plenty of laughter and appreciation for one another.  Here at SERVPRO of Spencer & Iowa Great Lakes we believe we are One Team with One Mission.
