Drawing on that experience, she makes a compelling case for rethinking what makes a good workday \u2014 and how to create more of them.<\/p>\n<h2>Rethinking the Cost of the Workweek<\/h2>\n<p>Many people measure their weeks in output and productivity. But Groff suggests a deeper question: <em>how are we spending our lives?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are spending five sevenths of our lives each week at work. And that is far too much to consider only the input to a paycheck, only the input to a company\u2019s bottom line,\u201d she said during our podcast conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Her point is both practical and philosophical. People perform better when they\u2019re energized. But they also deserve to feel their time has value beyond the transactional.<\/p>\n<h2>Not One Kind of Fun, but Many<\/h2>\n<p>Groff resists a narrow definition of fun, especially at work. It\u2019s not about ping pong tables or performative joy. Instead, she encourages people to find satisfaction in a wide range of sources \u2014 personal growth, camaraderie, mentoring, or even moments of quiet focus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe good thing about joy and fun at work is that you don\u2019t have to get all of your joy from the same place,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, it\u2019s not about purpose or meaning. Sometimes it\u2019s about relationships, curiosity, or mastering a skill. Fun is personal, and people should be empowered to find it in ways that are authentic to them.<\/p>\n<h2>Leadership Sets the Conditions<\/h2>\n<p>Leaders can\u2019t manufacture joy, but they can create the space for it to emerge. That starts with paying attention to how teams work, not just what they produce.<\/p>\n<p>Groff shares practical tools, like check-in rituals and \u201cDo Nothing Days\u201d \u2014 time set aside for deep thinking and unstructured conversation. These are not distractions. They create the conditions for better thinking, deeper collaboration, and more creative breakthroughs. And it also happens to be good for the business.<\/p>\n<h2>Start Local: The Power of Cozy Teams<\/h2>\n<p>Even if an organization isn\u2019t fully aligned, managers and individuals still have influence. Groff encourages team leads to think of themselves as CEOs of their own small cultures. Cozy teams \u2014 where people feel psychologically safe, trusted, and known \u2014 can exist inside any company.<\/p>\n<p>Small gestures matter. Making space for a quick laugh, checking in sincerely, or sharing the real reasons someone has their camera off can shift the entire tone of a team. And when all else fails, Groff suggests \u201cthin-slicing\u201d joy: finding even a minute in the day \u2014 like a peaceful coffee break \u2014 and fully enjoying it.<\/p>\n<h2>Fun Is Not Optional<\/h2>\n<p>Groff\u2019s perspective doesn\u2019t ask for less work; it asks for better work. She makes it clear that fun is not a tradeoff with performance, but rather a foundation for it.<\/p>\n<p>Work will always bring challenges. But most of our lives are spent working. That time deserves to be well used, well felt, and yes, fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transformation expert Bree Groff shares how playful teams spark creativity, build trust, and unlock higher performance, one small moment of joy at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":862,"featured_media":77756,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[219],"tags":[23530,31969,463,31968,30070,78,31967,781,23093],"class_list":{"0":"post-77755","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-expert-insights","8":"tag-allwork-space","9":"tag-bree-groff","10":"tag-connection","11":"tag-cozy-teams","12":"tag-emma-ascott","13":"tag-leadership","14":"tag-making-work-fun","15":"tag-work-life-balance","16":"tag-workplace-wellness"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.9 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
