World Cup 2010 and the Importance of Good Team Spirit!

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Lack of English Team Spirt World Cup 2010We have all seen the immense difference to results when a team is together pulling in the same direction compared to one that is not. We’ve seen this throughout the World Cup 2010 with France, Italy and sadly England.

It seems that regardless of how much Fabio Capello screamed from the touchline, the England players still gave lacklustre performances. Time and time again we have heard that the English squad has not been a happy camp. Were they bored in the training camp? Could they understand their manager? Was it a frustrated backlash against their manager’s refusal to let them play how they wanted to?

Regardless of how good the individual players are meant to be, individuals cannot win the World Cup on their own. The same applies to business. Businesses are formed of teams and the most successful businesses are often the ones who work best and communicate together.

Is your company winning as you would like? Is communication a problem? Or are frustrations and misunderstandings affecting performance?

Various surveys have often revealed that when employees were asked to sum up the key goals their employer was looking for from them, the answers given were considerably different to those given by the employers. A reason for frustration! And not hitting GOALS!

MCE Employee Wellbeing Branding Update

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

mce europe logoOver recent months the MCE business development manager Michael Cook has been finalising further marketing material for MCE. The idea and knowledge of a chaplaincy service in the UK is perhaps not as well known as in the USA. Our aim is to provide a service to any business that encompasses the need to support their staff. Being in a multi cultural and religious society in the UK, in some instances the term ‘Chaplain’ can be an obstacle in the development of business relationships. Over recent years, the government and various notable research organisations, reporting on staff in the workplace are recommending emphasis is placed on the wellness of staff. This additional material highlights the greater need for participation in a programme such as ours. Although MCE continues very much as it always has, 2010 has brought around a significant change in the way the company presents itself to the business world.

MCE now has a new logo and tagline. Enhancing lives, enhancing business was thought up in order to promote exactly in a nutshell what MCE has done for over 25 years.

There is a much more detailed set of pages now on our website which explain more fully the journey which MCE is undertaking with clients.

Finally there is the new MCE E-newsletter which is being sent out on a monthly basis. May’s edition can be viewed here at http://www.mchap.co.uk/newsletter/may10

Please enjoy,
The MCE Marketing Team
