Most organizations want high levels of productivity and creativity from their teams. But they also tend to overlook one of the biggest factors in cultivating that type of environment: having FUN! Incorporating play into the workplace leads to better team dynamics where everyone feels comfortable sharing ideas and taking risks. But how can you do this without detracting from work – and what does this look like for teams with remote employees?

In today’s episode, Donald Miller talks with Kristi Herold, the author of “It Pays to Play” and the CEO and Founder of JAM where her team helps people connect through play. Kristi shares how organizations that have fun together tend to be more profitable and have better retention rates. She also shares specific ideas on how you can incorporate play into your workplace so you can keep your best people, encourage creativity, and improve company culture. Tune in now to learn how you incorporate these tips into your own organization!
