Happy to
share with you an exciting letter we just received
from the United States Department of Health and Human
Services, Public Health Service, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) Atlanta, Georgia. The
following are excerpts or you may read the
entire letter.

Thank
you for sending the results of your study and
training DVD on Workplace Laughter Groups.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) is concerned
about the health of American workers and their families and
applauds your efforts to bring attention to interventions
that promote health and well-being in the workplace sitting. |

Employers
are increasingly looking for solutions to
combat rising health care costs and
improve worker productivity. This
research can provide additional tools for
employers to address common worker complaints
such as job stress resulting from lack of perceived
control; job satisfaction for the individual
and employee morale from
the employer perspective related to positive
emotional state; or the self-management through
self-efficacy of chronic diseases such as high
blood pressure as well as daily
job tasks. |

It appears Workplace Laughter
Groups are a simple, low-cost intervention that can
easily be worked into the course of a normal work day and
encourage employers to change their workplace environment. |
|
| |
We
wish you well in your continued efforts
to support public health efforts to impact
health outcomes in the workplace. |
|
We think
this letter is vitally important for all employers.
Please pass it along to everyone in your own workplace as well as your friends
and family who may be interested in improving productivity. Again,
here is the link to the original letter.
Until
next time … laugh yourselves
silly. You'll feel better!
