Welcome to Day 4 of Event Wellbeing Week
Today we’re flipping the script on a word that’s often overlooked in professional life: joy.
For too long, joy has been treated as a luxury, something to indulge in after the event is over, if there’s time left. But what if we told you that joy is one of the most powerful productivity tools available to you?
Whether it’s laughter, connection, music, or moments of genuine lightness, joy fuels energy, resilience, and creativity — all essential for navigating the chaos and complexity of events.
Why Joy Belongs in the Workplace
- It reduces stress and tension
- It strengthens teams and relationships
- It boosts morale, energy, and focus
- It improves decision-making and adaptability
- It reconnects us with why we do what we do
Tips to Reclaim Joy at Work:
- Schedule something fun into your day — and protect it like any other meeting
- Celebrate small wins with your team
- Laugh together! Humour is humanising
- Host a “joy check-in” — ask your team: what’s brought you joy this week?
- Dance, sing, be silly — especially when things feel heavy
Workplace Implementation Ideas:
- Build joy rituals into the day (coffee breaks, music moments, shared playlists)
- Let people bring more of themselves to work — quirks, pets, hobbies included
- Inject humour and colour into comms and team updates
- Create space for connection that isn’t just work talk
Quote of the Day:
“Joy isn’t a distraction. It’s fuel.”
