Backgammon competitions help improve work efficiency

At work things can sometimes get crazy and we might be tempted to work harder and disregard the fact that we are surrounded by other people The only way to keep the interaction alive and get the staff to better know each other is by organizing a small and friendly competition where everyone is free to play and learn the game if they don’t already know it.

We are all driven by the constant need to be the best and to know more than others. For this reason alone we work harder whenever we feel our position being threatened by a competitive and we try to be the best at what we do. Regardless the type of work we do, from advertising to rocket scientists, we all need some time off once in a while so that we can relax and release the tension accumulated in time.

As a result, we play all types of games and engage in fun activities so that we can separate our private life from work. There are times when we work for so hard and so long that we don’t even know the people in our office then alone anything about them.
