There's traditional wisdom that says a place of work is to work in and that's it.
The result of this is to see people reprimanded for having fun at work, as if having fun at your place of work, mitigates your staff's ability to be productive.
I think that's an old-fashioned approach and according to numerous studies, it's flat out wrong.
In fact, curbing your employee's ability to have fun or to take short breaks from complicated issues will reduce the likelihood a project becomes a success.
Numerous studies have highlighted the fact that humor in the workplace, builds team spirit, increases overall productivity, strengthens the relationship between management and employees, and most importantly encourages creativity and innovation.
If there's one thing you don't want to do in any company, it's to decrease team spirit and quash creativity and innovation.
There's a number of ways to inject some humor into day-to-day life at the office and one of the ways I've chosen to do so in the last few weeks is to instruct the team to put a focus on making FUN product videos rather than the normal product information-driven videos that take themselves too seriously.
I think they turned out great, and I
hope you agree.
By bringing in many members of the team to all have a little part of the project, we've created a new series of videos that are great fun to watch and at the same time, they have been fun for us to make!
You may already know I'm a keen guitarist, but you probably haven't seen me like THIS before :-)

New VIDEO: Sneak Peek!
You guys may not know this, but I'm not just the CEO of Labrada Nutrition. I'm also an avid guitar player and play in a Christian rock band.
However, as much as I love playing guitar, sometimes I'm just feeling a little too tired to crank out a tune the second I get into the office.
BUT.. somebody gave me something this morning that changed all that and my team at Labrada HQ are a little confused as to why I'm QUITE So energetic.
If you want to "Rock OUT" with me and have some fun in the process - watch this video :-)
Soft, fluffy, crunchy, and moist, these breakfast bars will kick off your day with a healthy dose of protein, carbs, and fat without any added sugar. Using cashew butter and cashew
milk gives this treat an extra creamy flavor that goes perfectly with the sweet and tangy blueberries.
LEAN BODY TRANSFORMATION OF THE WEEK MOTIVATION Gerald Heilman lost 30 lbs & 11% Body Fat
"The Lean Body Challenge allowed me to feel good about the positive changes I was seeing physically, as well as learning to see how the mental aspect comes into achieving the outcome and staying focused and on track. Trying to maintain strength while depleting calories and still working 60
hours a week and raising 6 children was difficult, but staying focused and praying and looking at those in the Bible who overcome obstacles on their journey helped me overcome my struggles. Putting forth the dedication to diet and workout routine, I believe it provides a good role model to my family that you are able to achieve what you set your mind to."
