People often contact me looking for ideas on how to build camaraderie, improve employee morale, reduce workplace stress and improve team working relationships. Here’s a quick fun idea that shouldn’t take long to complete but could provide for a lot of laughs.
Use it as a meeting ice breaker, an end of the week special moment, when you see the stress level has hit the roof or the next time some long winded policy gets issued. I like to call it:
Take A Recess from Rules and Policies That Make You Go Hmmmm
- Gather 2 or more people
- Grab the nearest company policy manual
- Identify your “favorite” policy; the one that just makes you shake your head
- Write a new interpretation of that policy (in other words, remove all that corporate speak, dumb it down and have fun with it)
- Issue the new policy to people with a sense of humor. Issue it anonymously to people with no sense of humor.
- Now go get ice cream or a piece of cake – you did order cake and ice cream for your Recess, right?
