Funny Ways to Alert Co Workers Their Boss Is Coming

The workplace has changed drastically over the last two decades. From the factory assembly line grunts to the creative millennials who integrate work into their lifestyles today, the workplace has evolved to incorporate cultural, intellectual, and social changes.

Drilling deeper, the social changes that have impacted the workplace have caused people to spend more time with their coworkers in a non-working environment. For example, we all know about water-cooler talks, cafeteria lunches, team-building activities, and team-bonding experiences.

But this evolution has brought along challenges of its own. Today, it's no longer enough to qualify for your job. You also need to be familiar with the social dynamics that will make you part of a team, and you'll need to know how to navigate those dynamics with flying colors.

And work jokes play a huge part in this.

Laughter makes us less stressed and makes us appear more sociable. It also helps us boost creativity and cut through the tension, and is a desirable leadership trait.

When we laugh together, we create a bond together and that makes the workplace better. This is precisely why we've put together the ultimate work joke list, a massive collection of 250 jokes you can tell at work that won't get you sent to time out.

The list includes all kinds of jokes that will come in handy at the workplace, regardless of the situation. To make it easier to find the right joke for the occasion, we've divided the list into 10 categories:

The Power of Jokes in the Workplace

(source)

Jokes in the workplace are just one part of many activities that make or break employee engagement.

According to our research, companies may want to consider telling more jokes. The TINYpulse Engagement Report 2019  found out that only 9% of people think their average coworker is very happy, half think their colleagues are moderately happy, and 39% think that they are unhappy.

Relationships aren't just built with jokes (although they are an important part of social bonding). They are built by engaging in activities that foster trust and build a community of emotionally engaged employees.

Not sure what such activities look like? No problem, we've got you covered. Check out the ultimate list of team-building activities and you should be able to find at least one or two that make sense for your team. Stick to it and, over time, you'll build a stronger team—one that's happier and more engaged.

And while we're talking about relationship-building, you know what would be great? To hear your favorite joke in the comment section below. Remember, sharing is caring.
