It increases employee morale and makes the work process enjoyable and productive. The shared laughter and sense of belonging enhance team spirit. Humor creates a relaxed environment that encourages employees to be creative and innovative. A good laugh is a stress reliever, enabling employees to manage a high-pressure performance environment. Best practices for humor ensure it is acceptable in the workplace. The joke should be professional to create joy for all team members and facilitate task performance.
