The word fun is rarely ( if ever ) associated with a working environment. The idea behind it is that a workplace is a serious place where things get done. Nobody has got the time to have a little fun at work. It’s unprofessional, unproductive, and disruptive. Right? Well, not quite. For employees, having a fun work environment is an important variable that contributes to a great place to work.

The term “employee engagement,” isn’t a new one. But since its original concept in 1990 and now, the way we view engagement in the workplace has shifted dramatically. The emphasis is no longer on the employee to be happy, but rather, on the employer to ensure each employee feels fulfilled in their role, supported by their manager and leaders, and connected to the company’s purpose.

By Joanne Perold. I noticed an article in the news the other day about the toxic culture in one of South Africa’s large organisations. The article was speaking about how that toxic culture was impacting the bottom line of the company. People were too scared to share and speak about problems, and so problems only came to light at the last minute. When this happens it makes problems much more difficult and expensive to fix.
