According to Fortune magazine’s list of the “100 Best Companies to Work For in America,” 81 percent of workers in companies on the list report that they work in a fun environment. In fact, they found that “fun” is the most significant variable separating those companies who make the list from those that do not.
Fun is the secret sauce every business needs to better engage and motivate its employees today. But we’re talking more than just ping pong tables in breakrooms and fun slides. Scores of companies like Zoom, Pinterest, Bank of America, Zappos, Honda, Microsoft, and many more, have nailed exactly what managers and employees alike can do to lighten the tone in the work environment and allow employees to have more fun at work.
With the COVID pandemic winding down, employees of all types and levels are looking to have fun more than ever before. Perhaps that is why Deloitte has labeled the 2020s as “The Era of Workplace Fun.”
Dr. Bob Nelson specializes in employee motivation and recognition. Joining Adam, he shares why it’s essential to create a “fun” atmosphere in the workplace.
