Humor is a litmus test for your company culture. That doesn’t mean every meeting has to be hysterical, but if people never laugh or smile at work, they aren’t fully engaged and they don’t feel psychologically safe. Think about it: if we’re asking people to bring their whole selves to work, humor has to be part of the equation because to humor is to human. Not to mention, it’s good for business: organizations where humor is present have higher employee engagement, lower turnover, and increased profits.

So how do you create a culture where people bring positive and inclusive humor to their work? Through a simple strategy called One Smile Per Hour. This session will teach you how to assess the humor of your organization and build a positive place to work, one smile at a time.
