Humour in the workplace, particularly in the context of management and leadership, is the subject of much research all over the world. It has been shown to be a powerful tool that organizations can harness to create healthy, people-centred environments that attract talent and reduce turnover.

In addition to improving interpersonal relationships and communication in the workplace, humour increases positivity, engagement, satisfaction, openness, creativity, team cohesion and resilience. Not only that but it decreases absenteeism, fosters a sense of belonging and helps ease the return to the office.

In this course, you will learn about your personal approach to humour and how to employ it strategically to build authentic relationships and enhance collaboration, productivity and well-being within your team and your organization.
