HR managers are introducing a ‘work hard, play hard’ ethic to the office, says London School of Marketing
London, England (PRWEB UK) 24 August 2016 -- London School of Marketing has released a blog post about how HR managers across the UK are implementing a better balance between work and leisure in the office, to enable employees to cope with long hours and demanding workloads.
The blog post considers some of the benefits of introducing more ‘play time’ into the workplace. It explains how fun activities provide workers with much needed stress relief, help them to handle work-related pressure and enable them to return to their tasks with renewed energy.
Chrishanthi Ranwaweera, LSM student supervisor, said: “With so many of us taking on long hours and heavy workloads, it’s more important than ever to make sure we have time to unwind.
“The occasional fun activity at work not only lifts our spirits and relieves stress, but it also makes it easier to cope with pressure and helps us to complete tasks to a higher standard.”
The post goes on to look at companies which have incorporated fun into the workplace, including Google, which has introduced music rooms, whiteboard walls and comfy sofas, and Mind Candy, where employees have access to slides, ping-pong tables and beanbags.
