According to officebroker.com, the UK’s leading online broker of serviced office space, humour can have a profound effect on productivity in the work place.

Managing director, Jim Venables says: “An upbeat working environment creates a better atmosphere and when used appropriately, humour can encourage higher staff morale and more energy. It’s about taking what you do very seriously while not taking yourself too seriously!”

Ros Coleman, stress therapist and former vice chairman of the International Stress Management Association UK added: “Humour in the work place can enhance motivation and team building, as well as helping to promote health and workplace wellness. It can also reduce workplace stress and tension.”
