We will learn the benefits of fun and humor in the workplace. We will learn the liability of inappropriate humor. We will learn how to tell a joke. We need humor to get through the day. Laughter can act as a coping mechanism to reduce stress. Laughter increases endorphins, increases disease fighting antibodies, increases your intellectual performance, boosts information retention, strengthens your immune system, and lowers blood pressure. Laughing can bring people together and strengthen relationships. But what is funny to one person may be offensive to another. Considering that teamwork is based on building people up, not tearing them down, no one wants their appearance or opinions to be mocked. Humor should be a useful tool, not a weapon.
