At intervals we receive a newsletter circulated amongst all we employees. It deals with such things as employee morale, self confidence, and other fun things. Despite the wholesome nature of the periodical, though, the information is contains comes across as campy, trite, and in this case laughably obvious.
There is one segment I want to relate to you because, well..I'll the text speak for itself. Areas of particular interest will be between brackets.
Title: Laughter in the Workplace.
Text: [A new study suggests that laughter is contagious.] If that's true, then, then it's definitely something you want to catch. Studies point to laughter's ability to improve morale and health, even to lower turnover rates. [You can even make laughter a more frequent occurrence by pointing out laughable events when they happen]* Reduce restraint a bit and you will see opportunities to laugh more frequently. Hang out with employees who laugh. They often hang out with each other. Don't forget to laugh at yourself-a tough assignment if you are wrestling with fear and insecurity, but practice it anyway. [Much workplace humor involves harmless mistakes made in front of others].
I doubt my words could do justice to this so I leave it up for your consideration. Till next time.
*To quote a friend of mine: "Even in regards to customers? Happy day!"
