If you’re ready to relieve stress and increase productivity by adding a little humor to your workplace, Shannon McDevitt, founder of Just Humor Me, a company that offers custom-designed interactive programs and games to help businesses develop and maintain fun and civility in the workplace suggests starting with these tips:
- Be sincere. You can’t fake fun; instead, create genuine reasons for people to smile.
- Be inclusive. Make an effort to include all employees in your fun and never laugh at someone’s expense.
- Communicate. Ask employees for suggestions on how to improve morale (and be ready for anything). You’re sure to get at least a few good ideas.
- Be creative. The ideas are endless: Add cartoons to boring documents, create an office mascot, be generous with praise and recognition, and stage inter-office contests.
