BUILD SOME TEAM SPIRIT
WORDS JOSIE COPSON. PHOTOGRAPH JOHANNA PARKIN, WITH THANKS TO SIGNATUREBRICKS.COM
Leaving your work wife a photocopy of your rear-end assets could do
more than raise a smile – it could actually help get her a pay rise. Penn
State University found those of us who have fun 9 to 5 are more likely to
learn on the job as the endorphins produced by laughter boost confidence
and sharpen focus. Which may explain why some offices are way ahead
of the fun curve. Ticketmaster HQ in London has a slide, an indoor picnic
area and arcade games, while creative agency Karmarama has a disco
room and beer on tap. If your boss’s budget doesn’t stretch to that, experts
suggest team-building activities (yes, Friday wines count) and celebrating
achievements as a group. Office streaking – maybe a step too far.WORK S MARTS MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE RRRRRRR , N OT H ARDE R ..., N O T
