What are you doing to help your people flourish, not just function?

Research shows that employees who are truly thriving in their well-being are significantly less likely to experience burnout and are far more engaged in their work.

As we kick off June, this quote caught my attention:

"Far from being frivolous, fun is absolutely essential for a well-lived and joyful life. If you use fun as your compass, you will be happier and healthier. You will be more productive, less resentful, and less stressed."

As adults and leaders, we often treat fun as something we'll get to after the work is done. But what if we've got it backwards? What if fun isn't a reward for success, but one of the ingredients that helps create it?

When we're engaged, playful, connected, and fully present, we tend to show up with more energy, creativity, resilience, and optimism.

As we begin a new month, here's my question: What is one activity that brings you genuine fun, and are you intentionally making time for it?

Fun isn't the same as happiness — but it might be the fastest path to it, according to researchers and authors who study joy: Our Best Life In this stage, we’re more likely to complain about our to-dos than plan things we want to do.
