Basic Facts
Happy workplace
(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"There's actually a whiteboard in our department where I write riddles and jokes. I want that kind of atmosphere to work in.
"I've changed little things here and there in the office, just to make it a little more playful. They have an in and out (board), where you put you're gone to three o'clock. They were just white plain old magnets. I went out and bought stickers, I got little happy faces.
"Everybody's mail, I'll stamp it with a little flower stamp or I'll put a happy smiley face on the end of my notes for them. It's more of a playful environment than straight and narrow."
