Laugh At Work Week: Building More Fun Into Our Workplaces

Laugh At Work Week

LAWW is a week dedicated to building more fun into our workplaces. Work should always have an element of fun.

Fun keeps us engaged, increases our creativity and helps us to problem solve. However, we know that you are a very lucky person, if you can get your work done and have fun doing it. As supervisors, leaders, owners and team members, we need to think of ways to make our job and our workplace more fun and exciting, especially in chaotic times.

Laugh Through It

Being able to laugh about our situation and ourselves helps us to release the tension, regain our perspective, accept that which we cannot change and experience joy. Not only all of these, but it also gives us the physical energy and mental resilience needed to survive and thrive. Many of us just need to be given permission and encouragement to use our sense of humour more freely.
