Objective: Encourage team members to stay informed about industry trends and share insights, promoting a culture of learning, collaboration, and thought leadership.
How It Works:
Shono initiates a "Sharing Industry News Challenge" in your Slack workspace, aiming to find the most contributors who share engaging and insightful news about the industry. The challenge lasts for one month, with each participant encouraged to share at least one piece of news or an insightful article during the month.
Step-by-Step:
- Initiation by Shono: Shono, your AI engagement assistant, kicks off the Sharing Industry News Challenge in the #industry-insights Slack channel. It sets a motivating tone, highlighting the importance of staying updated in the industry and inviting everyone to participate by sharing news, articles, or insights they find valuable.
- Sharing & Encouragement: Throughout the month, Shono encourages participants to share at least one piece of news or an insightful article. Shono keeps the exchange of knowledge dynamic and engaging.
- Leaderboards & Engagement: Shono maintains a friendly leaderboard that tracks contributions based on the number of shared articles and interactions. This encourages participation and recognizes those who contribute most actively. Employees can react, comment, and discuss each shared piece of news—turning it into a lively, learning-focused discussion.
- Reward: At the end of the month, Shono announces the team member who shared the most engaging and insightful content. The winner receives a reward, such as a $100 gift card or a ticket to an industry-related event, adding extra motivation for thoughtful sharing.
Outcome:
The Industry News Challenge fosters a culture of learning within the team by making knowledge-sharing an interactive experience. It keeps the team informed and promotes cross-departmental discussions, making everyone feel more involved in the company’s growth. Shono’s prompts make sure that everyone stays connected, without adding extra work for anyone.
Impact:
- Increased Knowledge Sharing: Over 50% of the team actively shared articles and participated in discussions.
- Enhanced Industry Awareness: Team members felt more informed about industry trends and developments.
- Positive Collaboration: The challenge inspired conversations that connected team members across departments.
