Dr. Nate Regier, a licensed psychologist with Prairie View, and Heidi Beckman have been researching the effects of laughter on not only individuals, but the workplace. For three weeks, 30 Prairie View employees took part in the study. Following a 45-minute introduction to the Laughter Links program, employees were asked to come to work 15 minutes early for a laugh session. The results were amazing. People's hormone levels changed, and people are having a positive impact on the health of the people around them. In the long run, laughter in the workplace could mean lower health care costs, lower heath insurance, less absenteeism, less workplace and personal stress and less turnover of employees. "If it reduces turnover, it doesn't take long for a program like this to show its value," said Regier. Recertification credits are pending for this event. |
