In most cases, guns in the workplace are bad! No doubt about that. But what about arming your coworkers with the tools they will need to be more productive and profitable in the workplace by arranging a corporate hunting trip? Such trips are gaining in popularity. So, what's all the buzz about?
For years, the corporate golf scramble has been a fashionable way for employees to get together in the off hours. Living in Kentucky, we have access to world-class hunting, and this is luring many offices off of the greens and into the woods!
In my research, I have stumbled across many anthropological studies which attempt to explain the phenomenon, including a study linking hunters to higher reproductive success! However, for the purpose of this blog, I am interested in linking employers to higher productive success!
Corporate hunting trips promote teambuilding, problem solving skills, trust, and socialization with coworkers in an unplugged environment.
Turnover is costly. It's no secret that turnover costs an employer 1.5 times an employees salary to replace him/her. And, in most cases, people leave bosses, not jobs. Interpersonal interaction affects the office climate and vice versa. So, employers are wise to invest in teambuilding exercises...and a hunting trip might be a good option! And, several upscale lodges exist to cater to the corporate client. A hot shower, a hot toddy, and a hot breakfast...sounds great to me!
