Promoting Laughter in Workplace Increases Productivity

According to experts, laughter can lower people's stress hormones and boost the flow of endorphins from the brain. Helene Grover, who is the founder of Laughter Strategies and runs weekly corporate workshops designed to spread laughter, believes that promoting hilarity in the office can lead to the formation of a balanced and productive work life, and give people an opportunity to release their "inner child".
"When individuals learn to lighten up, they enhance their attitude towards their work and life, improving their overall well-being. There's richness in laughter. You don't even need to say a word - you can just laugh, News.com.au quoted Helene, as saying. "It's the one thing we've got in our bodies that costs nothing, she added.
She further said that the sessions help improve staff morale and workplace happiness, even though many workers are unwilling to laugh at first. "For some people, it's not that simple to just get up and laugh. I think people are frightened to make fools of themselves. To create more laughter, sometimes we have to be more silly, and teach people to look at these things and have more fun, she said.
Helene said that the initial expenditure from the laughter workshops is returned right away as workers decrease stress-related claims, become more competent, and are better equipped to convince customers. "By encouraging their employees to create a fun environment, (businesses) will increase their productivity and creativity, she said.
