Competition can turn work into a game. At one in-plant where I worked, a high school boy came part-time to shrink-wrap instruction manuals. He hated the work. It bored him. Yet I had fun shrink-wrapping manuals, even for days on end. I had discovered how to make a game of it.
I constantly found ways to work better. I learned to position stacks of manuals, warranty cards and wiring diagrams so I could pick them up using both hands simultaneously. I learned to insert the pages into the shrink wrapper so that I wasted the least amount of plastic and produced the least smoke. I was competing with myself. If we can find ways to instill a competitive spirit in our shops, employees will make work into a game.
