It seems to be the understanding that if you are going to work, then you are going in for a day of drudgery.
Sit at a desk, punch in the numbers and continue through a mind-numbing 8 hour period. This is a significant problem. One that companies have begun to realize they need to address. 5 Dynamics, an organization designed to help with employee engagement shares “A 2017 Deloitte report has shown that nearly 80 percent of executives rated employee engagement either very important or important, but only 22 percent were “excellent” at building a positive employee experience. Even more troubling, 59 percent of respondents indicated that their companies were either not ready or only somewhat ready to address the employee experience challenge.”
This got us thinking.
If statistics show that happy employees are around 20% more efficient in their work environments, it’s time to add some fun to the workplace. We think one of the best ways to do that is to create a game room for work. A place where employees can take a break from the rigors of work.
