TEAM BUILDING..LUCT

Team building is important in any organization as it creates tuning of individual minds to achieve one goal.My internship at Botswana Police Service showed me a way of maintaining and building unity and friendship in a team.The workers of the PRU are close and support each other in and out of the office.One of the many ways they practce team building is by excersing together...yes i said it ,they work out together,On Tuesdays and Thursdays after work hours everyone in the office including the head of department put on takkies and sweat shirts,they go mountain climbing,hiking or sometimes they play ball sports such as volleyball,netball or football.The motto in the office was "keep in shape and sweat and have a sharp mind to work".This was a shock to me as i never imagined that a public relations organization can do something like this but it is a good way to  build team spirit and maintain the internal relations and affairs.Also this is good for company image building as the media supports and acknowledges their working together outside of the office to help others get healthy and others to maintain their health.
In the morning of every working day the PRO holds a meeting with the assitants and discuss the jobs of the day and upcoming events which are the disseminated to the other Public relations officers in a meeting,this helps team work and building as it focuses on bringing the people together and sharing workloads fairly and adequately.
