Does fun in the workplace really matter? Absolutely!
In this masterclass episode of One Next Step, Tricia and Lisa talk about the ins and outs of creating a fun company culture – and why creating one matters. The truth is, building a positive and fun company culture is one of the best and easiest ways to recruit new talent and keep your current talent feeling fulfilled and dedicated to your mission.
As we say at BELAY, we’re not running an ER here. No one’s life is at risk because of what we do. In the middle of a stressful day, be sure to keep everything in perspective. Relieve a little of the pressure and be intentional about making time to have fun. A fun and productive culture can exist at the same time.
Sometimes, leaders can get a bad rap for being unapproachable and distant. And, sometimes, that perception is warranted. That’s why it’s important for our team to see us having fun, too. When we’re in the middle of it all, or when we’re the first one on the dance floor, we communicate that we’re approachable and relatable. We’re not the boss in the corner office who no one ever sees. Set an example for having fun!
If you’re not as comfortable stepping out and coming up with fun activities, that’s okay. Look around your team – who are the outgoing extroverts who would never miss a party? Recruit them to help you come up with some things that will help you build a fun, engaging work culture. This doesn’t have to be expensive and extravagant. You can do small things to recognize your team and their effort. They will appreciate the time to unwind and likely become even more passionate about what they do in your company.
BELAY client Geoff Welch and his BELAY Virtual Assistant Trúc Towns talk with Tricia about their experience of learning to work together and their top tips for getting started working with a Virtual Assistant. Geoff also explains how delegation has allowed him to play to his strengths in both his career and his personal life.
