BankWest Retail Sales Team Excels in Corporate Challenge 2009
In mid-January, the BankWest Retail Sales Division showed off their talents in a teambuilding program held at the Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club. The teams were raring to go right from the start, showing a keen enthusiasm to get involved and compete for the final prize for the overall best performance.
In these trying economic times, Retail Sales Manager Phil Colton’s philosophy is to maintain BankWest’s cutting edge position in the banking industry by investing in its people. The partnership with Australian Corporate Challenge will undoubtedly set 2009 off on a positive note with a focus in the areas of change management; an integral focus area for BankWest in maintaining its leading position in this current economic climate.
The teambuilding program was structured around a series of hands-on activities, both indoor and outdoor. The themes of Emotional Intelligence, health and wellness, communication, creative thinking, motivation, relationship building, achieving work/life balance, and problem solving were focused upon. The highlights of the day, as reflected by the participants, included getting to know interstate work colleagues on a more personal level, and integrating in an out-of-office environment.
In the end, it was the competitive element of Australian Corporate Challenge’s teambuilding program that left participants hungry for the challenges to come in 2009.
