How to Make Pharmacy Goals Exciting With a Poker Twist
Reaching store goals and keeping team members motivated, all while having fun? No, it’s not impossible. We know that sounds like a daydream, but you can certainly turn tasks into a fun and engaging game. Enter the poker strategy! This fool-proof approach transforms goal-setting into a game of friendly competition, making daily tasks feel less like a chore and your pharmacy closer to boosting that bottom line. Here’s how you can implement this strategy in your pharmacy and watch your team thrive. MAKE LARGE-SCALE GOALS ATTAINABLE WITH MINI-GOALS. The first step to implementing the poker strategy is to break down your overall store goals into mini-goals. These are small, achievable tasks that your team can complete within a day. For example, a few mini-goals may include:
the better chance you have at having the best hand!
At the end of the week, the person with the best poker hand wins a prize. A few examples for prizes include:

Gas cards Gift cards
An hour of paid time off Even a free weekend off!
Whether it’s monetary or non-monetary, the prize should be something that your team members look forward to. Anticipating a good reward adds that extra layer of motivation. For larger teams, you can vary the game by setting different mini-goals for different departments. For instance, you might have one poker game going on with delivery drivers and another with technicians. Each department can have its own set of mini-goals tailored to their specific roles. This customization ensures that the game remains engaging for everyone involved while also being realistic in actually achieving those goals. To keep the game interesting, you can switch up the poker rules each week. You might play Texas Hold ’em one week, while the next week, you could declare 2’s high or make jokers wild. Get creative with the rules to keep the competition fresh! BUILD A POSITIVE AND MOTIVATED TEAM. The poker strategy is not just about reaching store goals; it’s about building a positive and motivated team. When you make daily tasks fun and rewarding, you create an environment where team members look forward to coming to work. They feel valued and recognized for their efforts, which boosts morale and productivity.
CELEBRATE WINS AND LEARN FROM LOSSES One key aspect of this strategy is celebrating wins and learning from losses. At the end of every week, take the time to acknowledge the winner and discuss what everyone learned from the experience. This not only reinforces the fun aspect but also encourages a culture of continuous improvement. How did this team member meet their goal? What was their strategy, and how can everyone implement it? Utilizing the poker strategy in your pharmacy can transform how you reach your store goals and motivate your team. Breaking down goals into mini-goals, adding a fun element with card draws, and offering exciting prizes make the journey to success enjoyable for everyone. So, shuffle those cards, set those mini-goals, and watch your team thrive in a fun and engaging environment! Remember, the key is to keep it fun and exciting. With a little creativity and a lot of enthusiasm, you can turn goal- setting into an adventure that your team looks forward to every week.

The key is to align these mini-goals with your larger store objectives. Week after week, these mini-goals will build up and bring you that much closer to your large-scale objectives. DRAW CARDS AND START PLAYING POKER! Now, here’s how the game works: Once a team member hits a mini-goal, they get to draw a card from a deck. This encourages them to complete more mini-goals to collect more cards. They keep collecting cards each time they hit a mini-goal until the end of the week. The aim is to gather more than five cards, allowing them to pick the best five cards for their poker hand. Of course, the more cards you have,
