Fun in the workplace is something that goes together like chalk & cheese...
Wait! What? No that can't be right: that's a prehistoric thought to have. Fun in the workplace goes together more like cheese & crackers; Morecambe & Wise; Bert & Ernie; Batman & Robin - fun & work is one of the best combinations in history.
Work Hard, Play Hard
Perhaps something we all said when we flew the nest during our University days, however never has a saying been more relevant.
Workplace culture, wellbeing in the workplace - prior to Covid it had begun to instil itself in HR business plans and during the Pandemic, it very much came to the forefront of a business environment.
With restrictions lifted back in February, for some businesses offices are back to normal, some have introduced Hybrid working, while others are struggling to bring their people back. Fun in the workplace can be a core part of your values that inspires, motivates and welcomes your people.
Here are our Top 10 pieces of Fun Entertainment for Employee Engagement.
