Today I’m sharing a beautiful example of people having fun at work. It involves a video produced by a group of residents and staff at the Golden Life senior living community in Canada. Check out this great spoof on Pharrell Williams’ version of the song “Happy.” You can’t possibly watch this video and stay in a foul mood!
Finding opportunities to have fun at the nursing home is so important and here’s why:
1. It Benefits Residents
- Adds variety and enjoyment to their days
- Eases boredom
- Builds positive relationships between residents and staff
2. It Benefits Employees
- Builds morale
- Helps us cope with stress
- Promotes social bonds
3. It Benefits The Organization
- Increases employee loyalty and job satisfaction
- Fosters creativity
- Promotes teamwork
I would love to hear what you’re doing to have fun at your nursing home. Please let me know in the comment section.

What a great video! One thing we do at my work every December is have an ugly Christmas sweater contest. It’s always fun to see what everyone wears!
