Discover the positive difference it can make to your workplace if your management team can inject some humour into daily tasks.
Would you believe that a humorous manager is more productive than a manager without a good sense of humour? A humorous manager usually has staff that are more loyal and more likely to give discretionary effort to the organisation. People perform better when they are in a good mood. This course was designed to teach people a framework of how to be humorous in the workplace. The program recognises that not everybody wants to be humorous. However, it is still possible to work in an environment of humour if you have a working knowledge of how to promote humour. How humorous is your workplace?
