“International Fun at Work Day” might be one of the favourite days of working people. Because when can you get to work and have fun in the office at the same time? This day ensures that fun and work go hand-in-hand. Also, this day coincides with April Fools i.e. April 1.

History of ‘International Fun at Work Day’

In 1996, the first “International Fun at Work Day” was celebrated in a company called Playfair. The owners of Playfair ran a business to bring fun to academic induction ceremonies. They believed that employees who have a fun and relaxed environment are more productive and effective in their assignments as compared to others who don’t.
If April 1 is not a working day, then the last working day before April 1 is celebrated as “International Fun at Work Day”. Many studies have shown that companies that prioritise the well-being of their employees have higher productivity levels. Employees need stimulation to generate new ideas for the company.
