Why Humor at workplace?
A short introduction to why humor matters at a work setting and what fun team activities are included in this AI-powered template
Humor is one of the most underrated aspects of team building.
→ Humor can be used to break the ice in a new group, to ease tension during a difficult project, and to create a sense of camaraderie among team members.
→ Humor can also be a great way to spark creativity. When team members are able to let their guard down and have a little fun, they are more likely to think outside the box and come up with innovative solutions to problems. Humor can help to break down barriers and create a more open and creative environment.
→In addition, humor can also help to build a safe-space for team members. When team members feel comfortable enough to share a joke or a funny story, it can create a sense of trust and openness that can be invaluable in a work setting. This can lead to better communication and collaboration, as team members are more likely to feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas.
Overall, humor can help to create a relaxed and friendly environment, so, the next time you're working with a team, don't forget to add a little humor to the mix!
^ The above note is what AI prefers to say about humor—spot on! If there’s another key thing I’d add to why I picked up humor as a theme, it’s the very fact of how a lot of work we do as humans is rooted in trust, joy, and belonging. And humor as a weapon at workplace is a concept I learned from reading one of the best books by my favorite Stanford professors—. Building a visual creative collaboration app also taught me what it’s like for teammates to share joy in building on each other’s thoughts, listening to funny moments, and sometimes dreaming up about silly ideas, only to later discover how this not only bonds them but helps teams bridge mental gaps and come up with better ideas.
The template and the fun games are an ode to the book as well as my own belief in how creating room for lighter moments has a strong influence on the way of work.
All these 5 activities make up The Humour Rituals template—feel free to explore and dig into the ones you find the most funny and interesting. There’s no right order, just play around whenever you get together as team for tea/coffee breaks, virtual hangouts, ice-breaker parties or so. Have fun! (Just like how AI did) :)
