  A Fun Day

  Creating a special day for an employee is a great work happiness tool. It won't work for all businesses, but I know that would like a free day and I wouldn't mind writing a small report on what I did. Of course I wrote the article, but still a free day off work is a perk that almost any employee would cherish.

  Fun

  Nobody would ever complain about a fun day - the equivalent of a field day, only at work.
  
  But if that's the only thing you do to help boost morale, I don't think it will have any long-term impact on company culture. I instituted a rewards program at one of my jobs, and employees appreciated it at first, but we weren't consistent enough beyond that program to make the employees less cynical about our workplace over time. Perhaps that's just because they were journalists, but I doubt it.

  The beatings will continue until morale is improved.

  Actually, the satisfaction of work well done is wholesome and gratifying. Makes a workplace more enjoyable to work in. Management can help make workplace more "fun" by dealing with office politics. Also, someone once said that when we have autopsies without blame, we'll find out why the patient died. In the office, projects that fail could be analyzed better if everyone didn't have to cover their tracks for fear of being "the cause."
  
  In football, the next play is in 3o seconds or so. Let's go for the touchdown and analyze the game films later.
