Purpose: To increase productivity

Description: Prior to the start of a shift, the supervisor purchases a roll of tickets, similar to those used at amusement parks or theaters.  On 250 of the tickets, the supervisor writes a message (i.e., candy bar, soda pop, dress down, supervisor gets on the phone, no prize, etc.) and places them in a jar on the supervisor’s desk.  Any remaining tickets are kept for future contests.  At the pre-shift meeting on the day of the contest, the supervisor tells the team that, after making a sale, individuals will draw a ticket from the jar.  The contest continues throughout the shift.
