We all love a good laugh in our downtime. Who among us hasn’t spent an evening in a comedy club, gone to see a funny movie, or even just curled up on the couch with a hilarious book or tv show? Yes, humor is essential to our lives outside the office, but it can be every bit as essential inside the office as well. Here are three reasons why humor is important in the workplace.
Humor makes people enjoy working with you. Everyone has that one funny person in the office, and odds are that funny person is well liked. When it comes down to working with people, we would all prefer to work with someone we like rather than someone we find dry and stuffy or just otherwise don’t get along with.
Humorous people are more approachable. Humor helps break tension and put people at ease, so it’s only natural that humorous people are more approachable. That approachability leads to better communication and more productive relationships at the workplace, as there are fewer social barriers getting in the way of work.
Humor boosts morale. A productive workplace is one which people actually enjoy spending time in, and that has a lot to do with morale. Humor is a huge morale booster, and an absolutely essential ingredient to creating a workplace that people look forward to going into.
