Now for all of you that think this is a made up holiday, you may be right. But why not let your employees take a little break to have some fun? According to recessatworkday.com, participating in this holiday could prove to be beneficial to your company. Taking breaks during the work day is important and can help reduce stress, increase productivity and can even improve employee morale.
Yesterday, the 'ville's management team took a road trip to Detroit to watch our beloved (but struggling) Tigers play in an afternoon game at Comerica Park. Our managers have worked hard all year, putting in long hours and going above and beyond to hit their goals and deadlines. So, needless to say, they have earned an afternoon out of the office to enjoy some sunshine a day at the ballpark.
Hello, it's me again! I know you just heard from me the other day, but it is Cinco de Mayo on Monday and to me, that means it's time to share one of the greatest dishes of my childhood and still to this day.
I think I've mentioned that I follow this writer named James Altucher. I'd link to him, but I can't trust that I won't land you on a post that has the F-word in it, and, honestly, I don't need that kind of trouble right now. If you want to look him up on your own, that's fine with me, just don't tell anyone I sent you. (He is a pretty insightful guy, he just seems to get his point across better when he adds a little salt to his language.)
I bring him up, because he wrote an article the other day about laughter. And, he introduced a stat that children laugh 300 times a day, while adults only laugh about 5 times. Statistically speaking. He gave some reasons on why we laugh less, like how we, as adults, are afraid to look stupid, that we have to do things like take the garbage out, and that we consider it socially unacceptable to laugh at farts. True. All true.
