What has been tried with some success:
Example 1:
“Southwest is passionate about its pursuit of
fun. The company has become known for its
zany antics, both on the ground and in the
sky. It has inspired business innovators
around the world by creating a culture in
which fun, humor, and playfulness are the
low-cost antidotes for the harmful side effects
of the stress and seriousness that pervade
much of the corporate community.”
“Southwest is known within the industry for
its very low turnover rates. When people go
to work for Southwest, it often becomes their
final career destination. Research shows that
when we are having fun and laughing, we
produce endorphins - our bodies' natural life
giving, healing medicine. So when work is fun
and employees are free to laugh and play,
people are healthier. Perhaps the old
prescription "Laughter is the best medicine" is
true. The evidence is pretty convincing.
People want to come to work when they
laugh and have fun.”
