IMPROVING LAW OFFICE MORALE

Employee morale has become more and more of a problem for many Law Firms. Success breeds success, and a feeling of failure can materialize in many ways. There are conditions that can, if not addressed, lead to a malaise that can paralyze an organization. This is for Law Offices as well as for Law Enforcement, Judicial Offices, and governmental agencies including Congressional Offices to achieve their goal of team building to bond their employees.

TEAM BUILDING OPTIONS FOR A MORE POSITIVE ATTITUDE

When the staff in a law firm are upset and overwhelmed by internal or external conditions, it is difficult to get the team motivated. Even more so if the paralegals, lawyers, attorneys, and partners are impacted. We help motivate them to lift themselves up by their bootstraps, so to speak. Employee morale boosting programs can be extremely vital to overcoming productivity issues and to reduce costly staff turnover.

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

HOW CAN YOU IDENTIFY IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM?
ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS:

IS THERE A LACK OF SOCIALIZING? - Employees often share some personal relationships in a healthy environment. Are your people not getting together outside of work?
DO PEOPLE EAT LUNCH ALONE? - Again, it is an indicator of a lack of enjoyment if they don't want to share lunchtime.
ARE YOU EXPERIENCING MORE TURNOVER? - If employees keep quitting and you need to train new people, there is a systemic problem beyond just your current employees.
ARE YOU HEARING MORE EXCUSES? - Increased absences and tardiness, even to online meetings, generally indicate a lack of desire to work.
DO YOU SEE GAMING? - If people are spending time at their desk playing games, it's an indicator that they would rather do anything other than work.

If the answer is "yes" to any of these, you have a problem. Our morale boosting events are enjoyable experiences for all and can help improve employee attitudes towards working. Through laughter and shared experiences, stress is reduced and the team members get to know each other better. Most teams that break down do so because they don't see each other as the human beings that we all are. Seeing each other in a new light promotes understanding and cooperation. After all, everyone advances better by working together.

WHY COMEDY
Having people laugh along the way makes them more open to new ideas and more likely to take lessons to heart. We bring funny people that can deliver serious amounts of information in an amusing manner. This helps to make any session more effective.

A MORE PRACTICAL APPROACH
Let's be honest, team building has a bad reputation among many employees. The average employee at law firms thinks of team building as listening to a hippie in Birkenstocks talk about auras and energy. The reality of the experience is much different. Our professionals come from the business world. Our team building workshops are designed with true practical goals in mind.

TEAM BUILDING APPROACHES

METHODS THAT WE USE FOR BONDING EMPLOYEES

WORKSHOPS

Using a variety of techniques, employees interact with one another and get to know their fellow workers as human beings as opposed to job titles. This allows them to get past initial bureaucratic concerns or organization and to begin pulling together in unified purpose.

ACTIVITIES

We can engage the competitive spirit to have employees bond with one another. They work as teams without realizing that the true purpose is building trust. They collaborate, engage in time management, and cheer for one another to succeed. These can also benefit charities.

ENTERTAINMENT

Getting people to laugh and enjoy a show together gets groups to bond. We provide improv comedy, game shows and murder mystery dinners that have particular approaches to benefit work groups without them realizing the real purpose for the company party.

MIX AND MINGLE EVENTS

There are several structures that can allow people that do not know each other that well to become more familiar. These can include games, murder mysteries, and trainings. We can even have a combination of events to be more effective. This keeps their attention and helps them retain and appreciate the lessons learned.

WHAT GOALS HAVE TO BE ACHIEVED?

MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING: - By understanding each other and knowing each others' goals and aspirations, everyone is in a better position to help each other and to motivate employees.
GROUP SPIRIT: - A group of individuals just isn't as effective as a group working together. We work towards creating something of a unified spirit without losing their individuality.
TEAMWORK: - Often organizations suffer from duplication of effort and micro-management. We assist teams to trust one another more completely. This includes entrusting someone with tasks and then living up to that trust. Taking responsibility and accomplishing what someone sets out to do. We also encourage checking each other's work, but as a means to improve one-another instead of being seen as a punishment or lack of trust.
A FEELING OF APPRECIATION: - Setting goals for employees to motivate them to achieve greater success is highly important. Having a way to show that you appreciate their efforts while utilizing performances that are more acceptable as an expense is vital. We have a selection of meetings and incentives awards programs that get people laughing and having a good time while bonding with fellow employees.

WE LISTEN TO YOU
Prior to any corporate team building workshop, THEY improv listens to your needs and consults with you to determine the particular needs of your group, issues that need to be considered, timing, location and budget concerns to customize a program to help achieve the needs of the firm in the best way possible.
