Advantages
Business results are higher than the industry average, in the areas measured in the competitions
Adopting new efficient methods as a result of locating branches with exceptional achievements
Improving employee skills due to high motivation and informal training procedures by skilled workers
Reducing the need for centralized management
Increased employee satisfaction from the workplace - the high energy that bursts during the competition affects the level of identification of employees with the staff/unit/branch/workplace
High level of interest from work - the ability to design activity in various "packages" and the combination of new products/services increase the curiosity and interest of employees, even if the work is relatively mundane
The intensity of the sense of belonging to the group - satisfaction and high level of commitment as a result of the strength that exists in the group
Management Challenges - The intensity of many competitions throughout the year gives managers significant challenges
A change in perception among the employees about meeting the challenges - a multitude of intensive competitions over the years leads the workers to formulate self-perception as highly capable and preparedness to deal with significant challenges (recognition as a company with competitive "DNA")
Disadvantages
Failure to observe procedures - as a result of a strong desire to win, some employees tend to act contrary to work procedures, which requires increased attention
Lack of focus in other areas - during the activity there is a significant focus in the areas measured, so there is a fear of relatively low performance in other areas
Higher turnover of managers - Due to the intensity of activities and the lack of recognition of managers with low competitive achievements over time, these managers tend to look for other roles
