Human Resources Managers Gave a Concert in 15 Minutes

At the end of his presentation 'The Rhythm of Performance,' Erdem Genç gave a concert watched live by thousands of employees.

A first took place at the Performance, Compensation and Reward Management Summit, held at a hotel in Istanbul on 21-22 November 2018 with the participation of Human Resources specialists from more than 200 of Turkey's largest companies. At the end of his presentation 'The Rhythm of Performance,' Erdem Genç gave a concert watched live by thousands of employees.

Explaining that each department within a company is like a different instrument in an orchestra, Genç said, 'Music is created when different sounds and different colors come together in harmonious unity. For that, all our instruments — our departments — need to perform at a high level.'

The speaker then illustrated this with instruments such as darbukas, tambourines, maracas, shakers and tumbas handed out by his assistants, showing that, through the power of teamwork, he could give a live concert with dozens of Human Resources managers and specialists from major companies in just 15 minutes.

Opening with the words, 'It will be wonderful to see what you can do when teamwork and the power of motivation come together,' the trainer introduced each instrument one by one, had the respective groups work together as teams, and then brought all the teams together to play in a joint percussion workshop.

Erdem Genç, who has been running the Ritmbox Rhythm Workshop with M3 Works for 14 years, explained how corporate performance can rise as individual performance increases. Participants said they were pleased that such a first had taken place at this annual summit and that they hoped to see similar activities at future summits. – ISTANBUL
