The negative effects of this include high staff turn over, reduced productivity and profit, more accidents and low staff morale. Through extensive research and our own professional career experiences we have developed a philosophy which uses the power of play and fun to address the issue of work related stress and its implications and effects. We believe that if employers and managers strive to include more fun in the workplace, an increase in staff satisfaction and morale will follow, resulting in greater productivity and decreased absenteeism. Through organised play activities and events which focus on fun and socialisation, a move towards a happy and positive work environment can be made.
