“When work is a pleasure, life is a joy! When work is a duty, life is slavery.” Maxim Gorley ” Dozens of top companies are finding that employees who laugh together stay together, produce more, invent more and work more cohesively as a team.” Bradford Swift, “HRMagazine,”1994
Humour at workplace is like a bandage on the wounds
A quote will do the answer" Creat inspiring workplaces by putting humor to work"
Work place should be balanced in all aspects,too much of anything is negative.as a manager you should maintain and enforce an acceptable mix.
Having a sense of humor at work helps relieve some stress. nothing worse than working with a bunch of cranky co workera who are always in a bad mood . Trust me in no time it rubs off on you.. In moderation humor an laughter in a work place helps the employees make it through their difficult day
" Laughter Is The Best Medicine. " :)
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.
Humor is very necessary for the work or any long hour work. If works in inbound requires stays inside for long hours, Its very necessary for some refreshment in the middle like humor. Its like a energy drink which help releaves stress and anxiety of sitting and doing same thing for long hours.
It shouldn't be all the time otherwise you will find everybody laughing and talking without doing their jobs.
Also kidding around all the time will cause loosing respect and somebody might say something unpleasant.
So no it is not necessary but can be available so little on certain occasions.
Life is to enjoy. But if homour hampers work or annoys someone then it should be refrained from....
