WHO’S IT FOR?
We’re good for a laugh
Did you know that a Stanford University study by Dr William Fry concluded that just 10 minutes of joyous laughter is equivalent to 30 minutes of exercise on a rowing machine?
Our free Laughter Workshop is a great way to create a positive work environment, reduce stresses, and create a more energetic workspace.
In fact, from a business perspective, a Laughter Workshop increases your employee’s blood circulation level and oxygen supply and is known to release neuropeptides, which improves brain function and helps in the performance of workplace tasks.
And all without having to spend a fortune on high-tech machinery or gym memberships for your employees.
Benefitting your business
Employers know that happy employees mean greater productivity and our Laughter Workshop come with a 100% laughter guarantee.
Other benefits businesses get by having a Laughter Workshop at the workplace are:
- Encourages a strong team culture
- Promotes a stress-free environment
- Improves communication skills
- Creates a healthier attention span
- Fuels creative thinking in the workplace.
A 30-minute Laughter Workshop helps people release their stress by doing some simple laughter exercises. Through these humorous exercises, employees learn to bond more easily with each other, learn to cooperate and enjoy each other’s company, and generally put people in a good mood.
And a good mood and stress-free mind is the prime reason for better workplace performance.
"My team genuinely enjoyed the workshop.
I do think the messages about “smiling” and “laughter” were important reminders and strong takeaways for us."
- Don Dickie, NDSP Plan Management
