Laughter in the Workplace

We can’t think of any workplaces that wouldn’t benefit from a good laugh but just in case you’re stuck here’s a few starters:

Workshops

Anytime you need to get people quickly working cooperatively and collaboratively.

Training days

Makes them memorable, enjoyable events and encourages participation.

Meetings

Open with a short laughter session or inject some energy when people become tired.

Reward

As a reward at staff meetings or quarterly reviews.

Change Management

To help promote an important new initiative or strategy. Overcome resistance to change.

Team Building

To build morale or bring together opposing factions.

It was great to have you run this morning’s session and see everyone participate and enjoy themselves. It was a fitting event for our last Technology Breakfast – thanks for making it beneficial and fun!

Make your next meeting, quarterly forum or off-site one to remember with a laughter yoga session from Cris Popp.

“Laughter is the best medicine” not just for people but for workplaces.

Our brand of laughter yoga cuts through stress, reduces conflict and energises like no other activity. A customised laughter yoga session delivered by Australia’s premier laughter yoga leaders, Laughter Works, will help you and your team shine.

What is a laughter yoga session?

Based on the worldwide phenomenon of laughter clubs it is a series of ‘laughs’ interspersed with relaxation, breathing and movement (there is no actual yoga). They can be customised to your event or message.
Laughter yoga builds morale and teams like nothing else:

Excellent team-builder

Fantastic ice-breaker, people connect quickly

Customisable to your event – can include a message or just be fun

Energises, motivates and sets an upbeat tone

No jokes, no scapegoats – culturally safe & non-offensive

All sized groups – from one to 10,000

No special equipment or props

Nothing physically difficult

Suitable for all ages & senses of humour

Topical, memorable and enjoyable

In a group of people I hardly knew – all of a sudden we had bonded by laughing together. With Cris’ guidance we had cleared our heads and decreased our social and mental barriers. We were ready to tackle the problems over which we had gathered.
