Workers of various key companies in the country with branches in the twin-city, especially banking, energy, and the media, take time off their daily business activities to interact, with the view to promoting harmony among themselves.
They do this by engaging in games and other social activities in order to know each other better.
The games, dubbed 2008 Steward fun games, which were organised by the Volta River Authority (VRA) and partners afforded the workers, led by various chief executives and regional heads from the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority, GHACEM, Takoradi International Company (TICO) and the Volta River Authority (VRA), Bank of Ghana, WAMCO, ECG and the media.
Speaking at the maiden edition of the games which would now become an annual affair, the plant manager for the Takoradi Thermal Plant, Mr Richard N. A.. Badger, reminded the participants that the main focus was to create a platform for socialisation and networking among workers of the various companies in the metropolis.
He said it was very important that at some point, workers paused to access their performance and interacted with other colleagues, shared experiences at least every half of the year to enhance productivity.
Mr Badger said the power of sports, as a tool for uniting people, could not be underestimated and that there could be no other channels for the staff of corporate institutions to interact better than through the sports platform where they could mimic other major sporting events, mixed with fun and brotherliness.
He called for the sustenance of the games to enable the staff to interact, make new friends and strengthen the healthy relationship among them.
The events the participants contested in included soccer, tug of war, apple chewing, orange picking, sack race, volley ball, and draught for both men and women categories.
The GPHA came out winners followed by GHACEM and TICO/VRA.
