I work for a bank and my director is so on board with the FISH! Philosophy. My plan is to launch it to our branch managers first at our monthly branch manager meeting and then I will go branch to branch to meet with managers staff and present it to them next. My question is--I would like to come up with some sort of preview/teaser (fun email hints, etc.) to peak their interest prior to our meeting and get them excited. Does anyone have any feedback or suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
As we introduced the FISH Philosphy and practices, I made up tickets to the PRMO Starfish Cinema for the premere of FISH! I popped popcorn and had snacks and beverages available. We darkened the room and viewed the DVD. It was a fun and relaxing way to get folks engaged.
Prior to the showing to all staff, I met with the Managers to get their support of the process, philosphy and practices.
We established a FISH! Committee, in which each Manager takes a turn chairing for a 90 day period. The committee members are made up from a staff member from each departmental team. The plan activities for their 90 days to include producing a monthly newsletter, monitoring a SPLASH (Peer to peer recognition) Awards program, participating in monthly teambuilding activities, and a quarterly game activity that involves all departments.

Liz,
We are re-launching the FISH! Please send me a copy of your puns to add to our pre-launch hype. I think they will "reel"-ly help to "hook" my co-workers! Thanks!
Hi Kelsey! We are doing the same thing for our 52 store managers. We are sending out the little individual Gold Fish cracker packets to each store manager's home address that just says "Catch the Energy, Release the Potential" July 1st 2009. Then we have the real invitations to follow.
If you have heard of any other ideas, please let me know.
Thanks!
Brandy
These are great thanks ... we also changed our names e.g. I was Fiona Whiting instead of Whitling and my boss was Tony Fishpatrick instead of Fitzpatrick ... really helped get everyone in the spirit!
