HUMOR US:  A Prescription for Tickling Your Funny Bone

In the healthcare profession, you need to have patience with patients.
Growing up in a family of healthcare professionals, Carol Ann learned
that maintaining a sense of humor during challenging situations can
be a potent remedy for curing a bad day.

It’s one of life’s most effective anti-stress measure and a wonderful
way to
cope with frustrations both large and small  (from the
overly
conversational co-worker in your department to that
all-important strategic planning
session scheduled bright and early
on Monday morning.)

In today’s world, an absentee employee can impact the bottom line
while a stressed-out staffer struggling to make it through the work
day is anything but productive.  It’s time to take the pulse of your
organization and implement a few constructive changes.  As a result,
you’ll watch as your workforce becomes fully-engaged and less stressed.

This program provides practical tips for maintaining a happy and
harmonious workplace.
