Employee Morale<\/h3>\n

Workplace Family Halloween Idea<\/h3>\n

Contributed by Mary Ann Wieczkowski<\/p>\n

It’s the time of year to plan ahead for Halloween. Here’s how you can make it special.<\/p>\n

One year at work, three departments participated in the following activity together. These departments were located in the same building on different floors.<\/p>\n

We selected the floor that had the most conference rooms and empty offices.<\/p>\n

Different groups selected a room or office to decorate. We had a haunted cave, a swamp, and other spooky settings. There were awards for the decorated rooms.<\/p>\n

We also had a costume contest with awards. In addition, each of those decorated rooms was a trick or treat station.<\/p>\n

Employees brought their children to the office to go trick or treating during designated hours.<\/p>\n

Joke of the Week<\/h4>\n

There is a senior citizen driving on the highway.<\/p>\n

His wife calls him on his cell phone and in a worried voice says, “Herman, be careful! I just heard on the radio that there is a madman driving the wrong way on Route 280!”<\/p>\n

Herman says, “I know, but there isn’t just one, there are hundreds!”<\/p>\n
