We’re here to share some good news: it is possible to laugh while doing your job! And better yet, it’s good for you. Our latest feature in HR Morning provides some simple actions to help companies get started.

Our Founder, Kevin Hubschmann, pulls insights from his experience with corporate comedy shows, improv for business, and Zoom comedy events, sharing his favorite comedic games and activities that can be played in virtual, in-person, and hybrid settings.

One example? Having your team shout out the company lingo they hear most frequently. “Sharing a laugh about the terms you hear over and over on a daily basis keeps the humor corporate-friendly and relatable for all team members.”

Above all, Kevin emphasizes that laughter should be incorporated consistently when brought into work culture, and that companies should think beyond holiday party entertainment. “Workplaces tend to prioritize annual off-sites that may incorporate humor. But what happens after an off-site is just as important as what happened there.”
