Collaboration not cattiness
Competition should bring out the best in people not the worst. Try to encourage everyone to support colleagues in their own quest for the gold. And if you want to avoid any unnecessary infighting, create competitive goals between your company and other companies in your industry. It’s “us vs. them” in a good way.

Corporate Captain
While hockey teams honour a team leader with a “C” on the jersey, you can honour corporate leaders by having them lead new projects or initiatives within the company. If there is someone who has some value to add in Social Media, make them Captain for that task. The next thing you know you’ll have a whole crew of Social Media experts on your team.

No gold? Go plastic.
As an employer who encourages a little healthy competition, it’s important to recognize the work of everyone who steps foot on the field. And while bonuses and raises certainly are part of the corporate game, you can really keep everyone motivated with simple, convenient rewards, like Hbc Gift Cards.
