Business has been done, and done again. But as times have changed we have not always. Having fun at work is not a new concept, it's just frowned upon for some baffling reason. As if by some magical court a law was passed declaring that anyone who has fun at work will by definition not be working hard enough. Must we be miserable in the place we spend most of our lives? We think not. And here are our thoughts on the subject.

To Know HR, read Know HR
In case you haven't used the nifty little widget on this page to see the blogs I have been reading, you should check out Know HR. His writing is humorous, pertinent, and refreshing. There are plenty of corporate training, HR focused, training & development blogs online. There are frankly, too many to read. Most of them parrot each other regarding the latest trends rolling out of Newsweek and T&D magazine. Frank Roche however, speaks from a different platform. See the smile?
He says, "I’ve been a professional dog handler, a polymer physicist, and a poet, but quickly realized that “being an artiste + $1.75 wouldn’t buy me a cup of coffee at Starbucks.” I write. I read. I pay attention."
I love his diverse background and unique perspective. Take the time, read good stuff, Know HR.
