Conceptually humor relaxes relationships. You need to take care in multinational enviornments because what might be considered as humor in a culture might be perceived as an insult in another.

Humour fills up the space in employees mind at work. It brings smile to employees faces and thus it is important. Though it is best at management offices than the technical/field offices. Hope you understand?

Humor not only reduces strees but it can also be used as a management tool. Start and end your conversation with humor and convey your serious matter in between. Humor also helps in team building and creative thinking. Mark Twain very well said"  Humor is mankind's greatest blessing."

Essential!! Old English saying: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy".

Humour at work has to be appropriate and timely, the work has to come first, that is what you are paid for but a happy work place is a productive work place.
