People get sick of their current company and role and either outright leave or decide to stay and do just the bare minimum to get by.  One of the common reasons people get discouraged by their jobs is that they're not having any fun.

It has been said that "all work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy".  In today's society it seems that we just want people to work.  But maybe the real truth is we need balance in our work.  Not just play, but the idea that the workplace is a fun place to work.  Study after study has demonstrated that workplaces that have fun are more productive, more creative, and create employee loyalty.  It then begs the question:  "Would you call your workplace a "fun" place to work?  With the number of people who are ghosting their job, jumping jobs, leaving good paying companies there may be a good case that the workplace is just not a fun place to work.  Let's be honest when we are having fun...who really wants to leave a place like that? In this episode of A New Direction we bring back Dr. Bob Nelson and Mario Tamayo co-authors of the best selling book "Work Made Fun, Gets Done!"  The book is full of ideas not just for the in person office, but also for the hybrid or "work from home" (WFH) office.  Dr. Bob and Mario Tamayo are going to give their insights, experience, backed by solid research.  Let's be honest we are all looking for people who are willing to work, by loyal, be productive, be more creative, and be more efficient...and all of those things combined mean more profitability.  That is why "Work Made Fun, Get's Done" and is a must read!

What You'll Learn: THE IDEA: As bleary-eyed workers return to “normal life” back at the office, many are questioning what their new work life will look like. Leaders now face a dilemma: How do we keep our people—and attract new talent? The answer, according to two acclaimed human resources and performance experts, is deceptively simple. Have more fun. THE WHY: “Work” and “fun” have historically been considered polar opposites of each other. But a quick look under the hood of Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work for in America list reveals an undeniable fact: 81% of surveyed employees say the best companies are all fun places to work. Deloitte has gone so far as to label the 2020s as “The Era of Workplace Fun.” THE ACTION: Incorporating fun at work is integral to business success today. It's simply easier to attract and retain high-performing talent when everyone is enjoying their work, say Bob Nelson and Mario Tamayo, authors of the new book Work Made Fun Gets Done! Easy Ways to Boost Energy, Morale, and Results (Berrett-Koehler Publishers; May 11, 2021). Highlights: Why a fun workplace requires more than a breakroom Ping-Pong table or free soda in the fridge Proven, easy-to-use strategies and best practices from leaders at Fortune's best companies, including Cisco, Salesforce, Hilton, Adobe, and many others Tactics anyone can use to bring more joy to their work and make tasks more fulfilling How to engage the newest generations—Millennials and Gen Z, who make up the majority of the workforce—as well as older and burnt-out employees Learn more at drbobnelson.com

I remember working for a Division 1 University and a person that I worked with was frustrated with the younger generation at the time and he said, "They need to get over it!  You don't go to fun...You go to work!"  Sadly when it comes to  work and fun that attitude still seems to prevail.  There is mistaken belief that work and fun are like oil and water and the two don't mix.  However as Dr. Bob Nelson points out on this episode of A New Direction if you want more productive employees, loyalty, and a place where people want to come to work, then fun better be part of your package.  In fact, research tells us that the largest employable group, the millennials are looking for a work environment that is fun.  If it isn't. as they say, "we don't have time for that mess" and they get out. Dr. Bob Nelson along with Mario Tamayo have co-authored this outstanding book entitled, "Work Made Fun Gets Done!  Easy Way To Boost Energy, Morale, and Results"  The book is literally filled with more than 100 examples of how you can add fun to your work.   The fact of the matter is it starts with you as the employee finding ways to make work more fun.  Then it goes into the leader, the team, and the organization.  You area going to need to put everything you thought about work and fun in the back of your mind, because the research that Dr. Bob has done is sound and will blow you away.  Work Made Fun Gets Done!  isn't just a clever title it is a fact.  If your employees are not having fun at work you more than likely will struggle with profitability and turn over.  Get ready because your work/fun session is about to begin.

In today's episode, we have a 2 for 1 special, as I speak with Dr. Bob Nelson & Mario Tamayo to discuss the release of their book, Work Made Fun, Gets Done. Easy Ways to Boost Energy, Morale and Results.According to Fortune magazine's list of “100 Best Companies to Work For in America:” 81% of workers in the companies on the list say they work in a fun environment. Deloitte calls the 2020s "The Era of Workplace Fun." With COVID waning, all employees want more fun than ever before. When you make fun part of your culture, workers will prosper— it's a proven driver of desired results, creativity & better relationships.And this formed the basis of a really entertaining, dare I say, fun discussion about all things organizational culture, employee recognition, engagement & hybrid work. We talked about a world after covid.

Today's Guest Expert: Dr. Bob Nelson and Mario Tamayo BOB NELSON, PH.D., president of Nelson Motivation Inc., the world's leading authority on employee recognition and engagement. He has authored over 30 books on employee motivation and engagement, which have collectively sold over 5 million copies and been translated into more than 30 languages.   MARIO […] The post Work Made fun with Dr. Bob Nelson and Mario Tamayo appeared first on Jake A Carlson.

The difference between a good company and a great company.... is fun. Fun is the number one factor between the companies that made the 100 Best Companies to Work For list and those that didn't. In the companies that made the list, 82% of the employees said that they have fun at work. Alternately, that number was closer to 60% for those companies that didn't quite make the cut. Today on the podcast, we have Dr. Bob Nelson and Mario Tamayo, authors of Work Made Fun Gets Done. Dr. Nelson and Mario Tamayo share tips for how to make your team and your organization less dull and more engaging. To lead a vibrant hybrid or virtual organization, one of the best things you can do is find out what your team members need for their own work to be fun.  Why Fun at Work MattersEven if we do our best to avoid it, today we are constantly bombarded with negative news. As a leader, it's your responsibility to combat the negativity that your employees are facing. Many leaders higher up in the organization can have the misperception that fun is a waste of time and money, and is an impediment to business outcomes. But these leaders are highly mistaken. Especially since the pandemic, our work lives and home lives have never been so intertwined before. The leaders that deeply understand how their employees are balancing work and home life, also understand the value that fun plays in establishing the right mood for work. Leaders today need to understand that with this new hybrid work, it doesn't matter where employees are located. Rather, what matters is incorporating fun into the work process from where you are. Dr. Bob Nelson and Mario Tamayo recommend that leaders and team members bring the proper data to their executives to discuss the results of having more fun at work. They explain that it's important to speak the language of your executives and discuss the impact fun has on recruitment, retention, healthcare, and cost savings.Recent research conducted by Dr. Nelson included looking at whether the work location of employees mattered in relation to their levels of work pride and organizational pride. (See https://workproud.com) The results proved that there was no significant difference between where people worked and their level of work and organizational pride. This supported the notion that you don't have to “go into the office” to get the company culture. In fact, the data showed that remote employees actually had slightly more pride than those who worked in the office. This could be in part because their organization trusts them to have the flexibility to manage work within the context of their own life.
