However, it&#8217;s a little more of a challenge to convince management that creating a fun atmosphere in the workplace can increase productivity and morale while having a positive effect on the bottom line. In this fun-filled book, the authors will tell you how to do just that.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s one thing to have someone offer you their suggestions for improvement. In this book, however, the authors share examples from hundreds of companies\u00a0that have found a wide variety of methods for focusing on fun within the work environment. They&#8217;ve developed Fun Icons which lead you through the book by identifying fun facts, fun resources, and fun quotes. They have included their twelve-step method to fun which they suggest you follow by\u00a0implementing one step a month for a year.<\/p>\n<p>They also offer a list of suggested readings\u2014books they highly recommend for your reading pleasure and to aid you in your pursuit of fun at work.<\/p>\n<p><em>(This book review was originally published in\u00a02000 as one of the Top 10 Books &#8211; Edition 5.)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>301 Ways to Have Fun at Work by Dave Hemsath\u00a0and Leslie Yerkes It&#8217;s quite obvious that any employee would like to have more fun at work.
