Why does everyone love social media? Let's give this a think. Oh, because it's SOCIAL. We, the humans, like to be social. We like to connect, we like to gossip. It makes us happy.
So by incorporating this social aspect into businesses, we the humans will by extension be happier.
At my company, Journal Communications, we like to be social. We like to chat, we like to hang out, we like to have a good time.
This called for a Good Times Committee, responsible for ensuring that every once in a while, we come together and, you know, have a good time. Last Friday we had an ice cream social. And nothing in the world makes someone happier than 'ice cream' and 'social' put together.
Unless they're lactose intolerant.
Now, I'm not just trying to say that JCI is brilliant and came up with this awesome idea, but really, it is kind of brilliant. They actively take measures to make sure that the company environment is more enjoyable, which a lot of places might not do. Apparently, there was dodgeball last year. At work.
So, for people that work 8-5 five long days a week, its good to know that someone actually cares that you're happy during that long day. Someone wants you to have a Good Time.
By the way, Ben and Jerry's Americone Dream will give a whole new meaning to the words 'good time'. It's that good. And it's Stephen Colbert endorsed. Yum.
