Warning: This website contains nuts

They are virtual nuts. So should you have a nut allergy you should be fine. However, if you don’t have a sense of humor you should probably leave this page now.

Now that I have your attention…… There is a difference between having fun at work and being a fun place fun to work. The preceding as an example of the latter.

And there is enough scientific evidence to show that fun and laughter will increase engagement and productivity while decreasing things like absenteeism and turnover.

It starts with Employee Happiness! Putting the employee first and the customer second. Now how is that for a nutty philosophy?

Premise: Every employee wants to be a big contributor. To make a difference. Every one. Some companies set people up to do so. Others don’t.

Leaders need to dedicate time to learn, recharge and laugh with their team. To offer fresh, new and different perspectives; ideas that challenge their minds and your current policies – all with one objective…….to create a customer experience that people will talk about. To give people the opportunity to be that contributor.

When was the last time they had a “Recess” of sorts? And I’m not talking your kids schoolyard Recess. I’m talking pointed purposed learning, training, and fun focused on improving morale, engagement and productivity. Learning opportunities that strengthen teams. Recognition events that celebrate success.

This could be the formula your bottom line needs:

R + EE + CE = $$

• Where R is a Recess with Rich – a learning opportunity to get employees/team members excited and re-invigorated about their work
• Where EE is a happy engaged employee who is proud to be a part of your business
• Where CE is a customer who is engaged, happy and talking about you because your employees have gone above and beyond; your customer experience memorable
• And you know what $$ is.

• Did you know that encouraging and creating a fun work environment leads to increased engagement, better customer experiences, higher productivity and more sales? 
• Would you like to breathe some life into your most important asset – your people; into things like creativity, leadership, communication and teamwork?
• Are you ready to be and look different from your competitors?
• Isn’t it time to get more calls/emails to your customer service department recognizing individuals who made a difference? (I can’t help you with product defects – you’re on your own with that one?)

All this starts with taking a recess – a break from the norm. Browse around this website; then contact me and let me share how a theater company increased revenue by 10% after taking a Recess at work; metrics of a large medical devices company regarding absenteeism and productivity . 

If you’re not afraid to stretch people’s minds and truly want something different for your next event invite Rich DiGirolamo to spend some time with your group. If you’re truly okay with the status quo get in touch anyway and let me change your thinking. 

Differentiate yourself. Engage Yourself.
Laugh. Smile.
Create a better employee or customer experience.
Be a better all-around person.
