With the 2018 FIFA World Cup starting on June 14, expect coffee breaks, lunches and hallway chats to be dominated by talk of the beautiful game. Not to mention the people who will keep up with the latest scores during working hours – ten games in the group stages will take place dur- ing European working hours. But don't fear: this does not have to be a big waste of time and resources. Yes, the time spent fussing about football may not be spent on finalising a report, ad- vancing a project, or analysing in- dustry trends. (Indeed, estimates suggest that employees watch- ing the 2010 World Cup during working hours could have cost as much as US$10.4 billion in lost production time.) But there are multiple ways to make up for this by embracing the tournament. According to Gallup's 2017 global survey, the State of the Global Workplace, only 15% of full-time workers are truly en- gaged at work. Almost a quarter of employees surveyed by re- cruitment agency Adecco said they don't think their employer tries to improve their happiness. And don't expect paychecks to do the job: the best predictor of workplace satisfaction, according to the Glassdoor research group, is the culture and values of the or- ganisation, while compensation and benefits were consistently rated among the least important factors. The true bane of an organisa- tion's existence is lack of engage- ment and job satisfaction among its employees. The World Cup is a timely opportunity to engage workers. With an estimated audi- ence of 3.5 billion worldwide, it is the most-watched sporting event in TV history. Beyond the excite- ment of the tournament, it brings people together and allows them to bond with colleagues outside their normal work tasks. Boosting the bottom line It can also help a company's bottom line in the long run. Em- ployees will be more productive because they return to their desks energised. Emotions are likely to run high during games, resulting in a more informal and relaxed environment. These environ- ments are known to enhance employees' intrinsic motivation – they simply want to come to work. Committed employees per- form better and are less likely to switch jobs: Gallup estimated that business units in the top quartile in terms of engagement are 17% more productive and 21% more profitable than those in the bottom quartile. There are also many studies showing that satisfied employees drive business results. Management consultants Bain & Company found that inspired employees are almost three times more productive than dissatisfied em- ployees. Companies may benefit from enhanced innovation since re- laxed, friendly, and fun environ- ments spur creative thinking and good ideas. This is why 72% of people report getting creative ideas in the shower. You may see an improvement in the execution of change initi- atives as a result of bringing dif- ferent elements of the organisa- tion together. A fun and pleasant work environment encourages employees to form connections beyond the people they mostly associate with, such as their spe- cific team or age group. Football is a powerful icebreaker, allow- ing employees to transcend job titles and bridge silos. Alongside discussing semi-final results, employees can learn more about each other's job functions and will, in turn, be better able to support each other, saving time and helping implement good ideas more effectively.
