National Fun at Work Day

For many, work and fun are completely incompatible concepts. National Fun at Work Day breaks all stereotypes and makes you believe that you can actually enjoy routine tasks. Every office has its own rules. Just for one day, they are abandoned, and employees are allowed to do whatever they want. Such an unusual experience will definitely make the whole team bond.

History

A good boss always strives to maintain a friendly atmosphere in the workplace. Not in all cases is it possible to achieve the desired result. You have to go for tricks, apply manipulations, and force people to work; otherwise, there will simply be no decent employees left. This is how workaholics appear who completely abandon their personal lives. They forget about fun, which is of great importance for anyone.

Modern methods of working with people have changed somewhat. Joint events have become popular, helping to unite and raise team spirit. Colleagues get to know each other in a neutral environment, find a common language, and improve the quality of projects.

Assessments by American psychologists have clearly shown how important rest is. Due to stress, people’s speed and quality of work deteriorate.

Interesting Facts

1. Shared holidays help people bond. Even those who sincerely hated a colleague yesterday will be able to find a common language. It is enough to work in a team and get a little distracted from the usual work. Outside the office, people become less irritable and quick-tempered.
2. Some managers refuse to pay sick leave. Therefore, their employees come to the office even with poor health. The risk of disease to others increases.

How to Celebrate

Today you can afford to go to work even in a carnival costume. Find a way to cheer up those around you in the morning and lift their spirits with a funny appearance. Others can follow suit. Friendly colleagues can agree on a dress code in advance.

An acquaintance based not on the facts from the portfolio known to all employees will help get closer. You can play around, asking questions in a circle, and gradually each one will open up from a completely different side.
