Why Your Workplace Needs Some Fun
As more and more employers welcome their teams back into the workplace, it can be hard to get into the routine of being all together, all the time. For many companies, there’s a need for new rituals and fun activities to bond teams.
Why should you incorporate these kinds of rituals? According to research by Harvard Business School’s Michael Norton, performing a group bonding activity tends to lead to happier employees that find their work meaningful and are willing to invest more in their jobs.
The ritual can be elaborate, such as going out to the favorite local barbecue restaurant for an after-work celebration every time you hit a company goal, or it can be simple, fun activities like gamifying anything from sales numbers to water consumption.
There’s one activity that you might find dwarfs all others in terms of the benefits it offers your team. 9 Square in the Air is uniquely suited for fostering the kind of team dynamics any employer would value. Take a look:
