Is having fun at work important? Short answer: Yes! Though fun at work is sometimes thought to be a distraction, research suggests that it has a positive impact on engagement, creativity, and purpose — increasing employee retention and reducing turnover. When we find tasks enjoyable, we’re more eager to dig in and complete them. When we make time for joy and laughter, we become resilient. I carried out primary, qualitative research interviewing many of employees across industries and career stages in many work places in hopes of better understanding: 1- How important is having fun at work to employees? 2- What do people do to make their work more fun? 3- Can those techniques be successfully emulated by others? #funatwork #linkedin #linkedincommunity #businessadvisor #businesssetup #dubai #dubaibusiness #uaebusiness #uae #incorporation #uk #gcc #usa #europe #africa #worldwidebusiness #obc #tlz
