Building Teamwork, Boosting Health, One Quiz at a Time at ADM

Our team is based in four states in Australia, but we come together online daily to do The Age Daily Quiz, with 15 questions each comprising of three stages: easy, moderate and hard.The daily questions are compiled by different quizmasters, and if you are up for a real challenge, Wednesday is the day, when Harry Hollingsworth is the quizmaster – we call this “Harry Hollingsworth Horror.” At the end of the week, we do “Double Dip Friday,” when we tackle both the Superquiz and the Travel Quiz. 

Now this all meant to be a bit of fun, so we do engage in some “active encouragement” to help participants think of the correct answer. This can involve tactics, such as charades or giving cryptic clues to the answer. We deny all allegations of cheating. 

In today's technology- and social-media driven world we live in, this is how we connect to our team, and we do it for a reason. 

Why do we do it? 

“Meeting” our colleagues is important for us, and we do it because we believe it fosters connection and builds camaraderie amongst different teams here in ADM. 

Our time invested daily for a quiz builds teamwork, and teamwork reflects in everything that we do. We pick up the phone when our receptionists are pre-occupied with other tasks, which reduces the wait times of our customers on the phone.  

Our sales team members are all-hands-on-deck for when our warehouse team needs help in sorting, picking, packing, and shipping orders. This translates to our patrons getting their orders promptly.  

Our technical team is never too busy when everyone else in the team needs their knowledge about the products they manage, which results in accurate information and technical advice provided to our clients.  

These are just a few examples of how everyone pitches in a variety of daily tasks here at ADM. So, despite being in four different states, we take time off our schedules to engage, challenge ourselves, and celebrate our small wins virtually. Learning something new each day is just cherry on the cake. 

Now back to the quiz! 

Our quiz topics include books, movies, TV shows, history, travel, and general information.
