What is your work situation like?
Is your office a stale and boring environment?
Or, are there touches of fun and humor to keep interest and enthusiasm levels high?
For most businesses, the idea that employees should be paid to have fun is not widely accepted. But that may possibly be the best way to improve business efficiency.
I mean work doesn’t always have to be painful. It can actually be fun – which often leads to productivity, creativity and a better bottom line. As a matter of fact, taking time out for “play” helps each staff member recharge the creative sides of their brains.
Rather than a sign of slackness or inefficiency, a few laughs in the office can be evidence of higher-thoughts. Play is a major part of innovation. It can help you get “buy-in” to your company’s values.
Humor creates bonds in the workplace. It helps to establish a feeling of camaraderie and sets the tone for co-operation rather than contention. This helps to make employees happier and more enthusiastic in their work environment. And happy employees create happy customers.
Lastly, it is only when employees are “truly grounded” in the values of their organisations, external troubles don’t impact on them negatively. Rather, they create a purpose driven organisational culture that can keep itself one step ahead of external challenges.
