Does your office need more fun? Summer is just around the corner, and the new season is a great opportunity to implement new activities into the workplace. Here are 5 ways to make the work week more fun…

Summer Fridays

As the weather warms up, “Summer Fridays” have been a topic of discussion in many workplaces. Summer Fridays are a type of flexible scheduling that lets employees leave the office early, take the day off, or work remote. Companies do this to give employees extra time off, boost worker engagement and morale, and take advantage of the summer lull many white-collar industries experience.

Host Dress Up Days

“Clothing cognition” is wearing something that makes you feel a specific emotion, that changes your behavior, thoughts, and words. Themed days give employees creative freedom and encourages them to act consistently with the day’s theme. Some ideas are bosses, superheroes, celebrities, or characters.

Have an Office Sports Team

Sports are a great way to bring people together. Office sports center around friendly competition and building teams. You can organize teams by department, rank, managers, etc. Sports options can be volleyball, soccer, basketball, baseball, bowling, football, and golf.

Set up Customs and Traditions

Customs and traditions bring the office together over a shared identity. These give employees something to look forward to and remove interaction barriers.

Allow for Workplace Decoration

Let employees customize and decorate their space. This allows them to brighten their space and reflect their personality. You could even hold a paint-a-thon where employees make art to decorate their walls.

Benefits of a Healthy Work Environment

There are many benefits of having a healthy workplace environment. Some include improved physical and mental health, increased productivity, enhanced employee retention and attraction, greater performance rates, and lower healthcare costs.
