All workplace wellness training is custom tailored to the client.  

Many employees suffer from chronic and sometimes life threatening illnesses.  Humor and laughter produce muscle relaxation, reduced levels of stress hormones in the blood, enhancement of the immune system and pain reduction.  L.A.U.G.H.S. workplace wellness training offers the above mentioned groups a balance of lectures, interactive activities and energizers.  During these troubled times of managed care, downsizing, mergers and ongoing restructuring, many employees are dangerously close to becoming "Crispy Critters."  Laughter and humor in the workplace are needed today more than ever before because there isn't much fun in medicine but there's a lot of medicine in fun.  Interactive fun activities are interspersed throughout the training. The icebreakers and energizer exercises are intended to elicit joy and laughter and to give the participants some immediate physiological and psychological effects of laughter. After the training the participants feel energized, motivated. They're ready to bring laughter and playfulness into their workplace to improve their health and wellness.
