  • soft skills training for stress management (laughter and stress are opposites)
  • time and place to laugh

Results & benefits for your team

Stronger Connections

Laughter releases a bonding chemical, which helps employees to get along with each other, despite their personality differences, thereby reducing conflict and group divisions. Employees that feel bonded and connected with each other, work effectively together as a team, and engage harmoniously with other co-workers and managers. If you can laugh together, you can work together.

 

Boosts Health 

Laughter Sessions are a form of low impact cardiovascular exercise, also known as laughter-cize. Research studies of Dr William Fry, at Stanford University, show that 1 minute of laughter, is the same as 10 minutes on a rowing machine. Healthy teams result in less sick days, reduced absenteeism and lower medical costs. Laughter is indeed the best medicine.

Positive Mindset

Laughter is a powerful mood enhancer and so quickly makes you feel good, that it has been described as the ‘happiness shock treatment’. Research shows laughter reduces depression and negative thoughts, improves attitude and motivation and creates a positive outlook. In a recent study, Harvard Business Review reported that happy employees work better with others, fix problems instead of complaining about them, and were more productive in their jobs.

Practical Stress Management Tools

Laughter is an instant stress buster, because laughter and stress are opposites. Both work by releasing chemicals into the bloodstream and counterbalance each other. Laughter dramatically reduces your stress hormones and improves your stress coping mechanisms, enabling your team to work under pressure, which prevents burnout and acts as a recharge mechanism, if working long hours. Stress reduction is one of the fastest ways to boost workplace performance.
