Bob Nelson, author of the multimillion-copy bestseller 1001 Ways to
Reward Employees, and human performance expert Mario Tamayo offer
hundreds of practical, creative tips for helping employees--and their
managers--make work more fun.
According to the employees that work for firms listed in Fortune's 100
Best Companies to Work for in America, the most defining characteristic
of these organizations is they are all fun places to work.
Fun is the secret sauce every business needs to better engage and
motivate its employees today. Work Made Fun Gets Done! gives readers
simple, practical ideas for instantly bringing fun into their work and
workplace. Based on examples from scores of companies like Zoom,
Pinterest, Bank of America, Zappos, Honda, Microsoft, and many more,
this book provides clear examples of exactly what managers and employees
alike can do to lighten the tone in the work environment and allow
employees to have more fun at work.
From AAA's Dump a Dog program where workers can pass their least-wanted
project on to their manager and Houzz's complimentary office slippers to
CARFAX's themed-wardrobe Zoom meetings and Google's company-approved
Nerf-gun battles and paper airplane contests, you'll find dozens of
ideas you can immediately adapt and implement in your own workplace.
Work and fun have typically been considered polar opposites, but this
book proves they can be integrated in ways that produce more motivated
workers--and exceptional results.
