The 3 Laws of Humor in Collaboration

Behavioral economics theories suggest that we tend to forget positive business rituals amidst company changes. However, humor can be employed to achieve significant results and increase the effectiveness of collaboration. The three laws of humor adapted to collaboration include the concepts that humor is like a motion that can continue until it is stopped, that online communication should be supplemented with offline interaction, and that humor must be considered funny, not derogatory or insulting. Successful doses of humor can help foster a fun and more enjoyable workplace environment with social cohesiveness, cooperation, and openness to new experiences.
