Knock, Knock
Who's there? Some grouchy employers--now lighten up!
It's just plain depressing to know that only a handful of
employers make any attempt to lighten the monotonous drudgery of
their hard-working employees--you know, sponsoring a few
face-painting parties or an intercom-assisted Friday afternoon
disco now and then. According to New York City consulting firm
William M. Mercer Inc., a survey of 286 employers revealed that a
bleak 8 percent incorporated fun into their work environment. An
admirable 4 percent had hired a humor consultant. To the 63 percent
that gave a shameful "neutral" reply, the least you can
do is prepare your staff for a mandatory observation of
International Fun at Work Day, coming up on April 6.
