WEBINAR
Making work fun again
A self-empowering and pollyanna-free approach
We spend a lot of time and energy at work — shouldn't we enjoy it?
Why are video games usually considered fun, even though they’re hard and challenging — yet work is usually NOT considered fun, because it’s hard and challenging?
Turns out, there’s a lot in common between the things we find fun and this other thing called “work” that we spend most of our lives doing and get paid well for in return. When we find the fun in our work, huge benefits await.
Importantly, this workshop focuses on “Making Work Fun” — not just “Having Fun At Work.” Because those are two very different things.
The latter implies that work is a PLACE and people can have fun while they’re there.
The former implies that work is an ACTIVITY and people can make the process of that activity more fun. This is even more valuable to people, their careers and their companies' bottom-line.
How to know if this workshop is for you:
1
Otherwise great talent seems disengaged and they’re letting small issues get in the way of attacking big challenges.
2
Your once-strong company culture is having a hard time adjusting to a more remote (or hybrid) workforce.
3
Energy is low. Apathy is high. And complaining is becoming the team’s favorite bonding activity.
Key Outcomes
✔︎ Increased productivity
Happy employees are 12% more productive, and businesses with happy employees outperform their competitors by 20%. (brighthr.com)
✔︎ Stronger company culture, remote-work or not
Culture isn’t about perks or ping-pong tables — it’s about how people bring themselves to their work and their colleagues.
✔︎ Happier, more engaged team members
They get more done, do it better, and inspire others to do the same. They complain less and care more.
✔︎ Higher retention rates
Satisfied people stick around. And they attract smart people who want to feel that way, too.
✔︎ A more confident, more empowered team
By empowering individuals to find their fun themselves, they’ll also feel empowered to make great things happen.
✔︎ A team powered by intrinsic motivation
When the work itself becomes rewarding, there is less need for external incentives.
✔︎ A virtuous cycle of energy and positivity
When a team makes their work more fun, they make everything around them better, which makes it even easier to have fun, which makes everything else even better again.
