More fun, more success

Business is serious, but all-work-and-no-play businesses are less productive. Research shows that humor reduces stress, stimulates creative thinking, prevents burnout, generates loyalty, and enhances people's ability to retain and recall information and connect with each another. At Southwest Airlines, humor is such an integral part of the corporate culture that the company prides itself on hiring for personality, and then training for skill. Crew members make up their own in-flight ditties and hold joke-telling contests at the gate when flights are delayed. Can't find your funny? Hire a humor consultant.
