(Creativity Room Objectives - Part 3)

In the previous posts, I mentioned two objectives of the creativity room which are (Creative Thinking) and (Successful Team Work). In this post, I will talk about the third objective which is (Positive Energy).

In fact, this objective is targeted by all government organizations since H.H sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al-Maktoom Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai directed all people to concentrate on this objective because it will support productivity and achievements.

What is positive energy? It is a feeling coming to a person that makes him productive, happy, satisfied and motivated. This positive energy has different sources and we tried to make the creativity room one of these sources for our employees.

We – as creativity room team – thought of putting this objective for the room to support our organization (DEWA) in achieving this objective. Also, we saw that positive energy is very important for all employees since the load of work is increasing always and the obstacles are more and more every day.  Therefore,  if there is not enough positive energy in the employee, he or she might not continue to achieve targets or let us say: he may not reach the level that the organization is expecting him to be.

The concept of positive energy is not that easy to be implemented for a room. Most people link getting positive energy with appreciations and rewards, so having other perspectives was a challenge for us to implement in the room.

We started to think of the ways to serve this objective. What will provide positive energy for an employee when he enters the room? The first thing we thought of was the environment of the room. A different environment will surely spread some positive energy for the employee especially bright and vibrant colors.

This is what actually we noticed when we opened the room and conducted activities; we saw most of the employees are feeling differently when entering the room. Another thing which we are doing is that after each activity, we are giving the participants an evaluation sheet to measure mainly three things (Satisfaction, Happiness and benefits) which are directly linked with positive energy. The results are excellent which means that employees are happy and gaining positive energy.

In the following posts Insha’Allah, I will mention more examples about how we are targeting this important objective. Until that time, see you Insha’Allah J
