“Work is much more fun than fun” Noel Coward
People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.
Studies show that if people are having fun, they’re going to work harder, stay longer, maintain their composure in a crisis, and take better care of the organization. Having fun at work has multiple benefits. It increases productivity, builds camaraderie, and enhances employee loyalty. It also reminds people of their value to their managers, their organization, and to each other.
As Tony Hsieh puts it, “Happiness is a business model”.

What’s better than attracting new talent? Retaining your starting lineup. Workplace stress leads to an increase of almost 50% involuntary turnover. When employees feel free to take a break from their tasks and blow off steam with their team, relationships deepen and company loyalty ensues.
