Humor in the Workplace

Can humor be taught? The answer is yes, but it’s unlikely you will have humor classes at work. Short of this, cultivating and encouraging a more lighthearted and positive work environment is the goal, as it can increase morale, improve teamwork, and reduce stress, anxiety, and fear. When this happens, the natural playfulness of employees will demonstrate itself. When one or two employees respond with genuineness and spontaneity, other employees naturally follow suit. So, the idea is not to create humor but to create a workplace where humor will find you. A recent University of Warwick study finds that laughter really is the best medicine!
