Mindfulness and crisis strategies against bullying: In the Lichtenberg district office, you are on lucky beans and referee cards!
In the district office of Lichtenberg, there is obviously a bad mood among the employees. In order to improve the mood, mindfulness and crisis strategies are used. Unusual methods such as lucky beans and referee cards are used.
employees from the "Facility Management" department report disputes among colleagues who are even referred to as bullying. In response to this, seminars were offered for all service unit employees who are more known from the management area. There was a instruction in the so-called lucky bean strategy and red and yellow cards were distributed, similar to football.
But what do the cards in the Lichtenberger district office mean? A yellow card signals a final warning to the colleague. Another incident shows a red card, which means that communication has ended for the time being. The cards should therefore ensure that everyone adheres to the agreed rules.
In the lucky bean strategy, each employee puts a few coffee beans in their pocket. If he is praised by a colleague, one bean wanders into the other bag. At the end of the working day, every employee counts the bean and is happy about the positive feedback or not.
An employee has a positive comment on BILD about the measures, but she wants a more committed manager. When asked by the district councilor Kevin Hönicke (39, SPD) it becomes clear that he does not want to talk about details of the measures. However, he states that he himself has three marbles in his pocket, which he shifts every day with positive experiences to remember it. He also recommends this method to others.
Overall, the Lichtenberg district office seems to deal with the bad mood and the conflicts among the employees in an unusual way. It remains to be seen whether the measures lead to a better working atmosphere in the long term.
