More Pics. More Fun. Recess At Work Day!!
Here's what Linnea from Training Resources of America had to say:
"I held recess at work and am attaching the pictures. We had to have indoor recess because of the rain but everyone got time away from their desks and computers to just relax and enjoy each other. I did give out funky pens and pencils to do the indoor activity.We have decided to have recess once per quarter and will be going on a field trip to Ben and Jerry's in Salem for recess in August!"

Was Your Recess a Success?
Here's what the kids at Community Options did; 2nd year for them. And read below what they had to say.
Canoe key pace he grit? Community Options had our 2nd annual recess at work day. We had a fantastic time. We began by walking down the hall a la Monty Python and the Ministry of Silly Walks. We all brought a bit of the 60's to the room. We played Mad Gabs and shared stories from the 60's. thanks for reminding us that laughter is the best medicine. Last year we had 25 job openings and were crazy!~!!! This year we have only 6!!! We have a lot to be thankful for!!!!! Enjoy our photos...
And here's what WorkSafeBC had to say:
Rich,
That was by far the most fun we have ever had in this office!!!!! Thank you for a brillant idea!! I am off tomorrow - thank goodness - I'll try and send you some pics on Monday - we had a team of superhero's - a team of cowgirls/cowboys - a team off hospital staff - and a team called See Ya Later - because 1/2 of that team is retiring within the next year - the teams went out on a 30 min Scavenger Hunt - IN costume - people all over town were laughing - one team told a lady what they were doing and she wanted to know if she could come along and help!!

OMG, Tomorrow is Recess!
Adding to the list of people who are going to take a recess tomorrow..................
Ashley and Lisa at the world's only Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD. I spent some time chatting with them yesterday on my visit and they loved the idea of Recess At Work. As a matter of fact, so many people stopped us on the street to ask what and why. (I guess having 5 of your friends wearing the T-shirts helps!)
So we're off to continue to spread the word about Recess.
And thanks to Mike, Mud and Mihalik for sharing Recess with your WNCX listeners. You guys are the bomb!

Employee Morale Up, Health Insurance Down.
It's really very simple................Your Employer wants to control health care costs. Your employer wants to increase morale around the office. Wellness is the answer.
According to a recent Health Care Cost Survey by Towers Perrin, companies that actively manage employee health and medical program performance "will see annual per-employee costs of about $1,500 less than low performers in 2008."
And how is that done. It is done through education. It is done through information. It is done by taking an interest in the employee while he or she is at work; by offering outlets of fun and learning. Why not take a Recess? Why not start this Thursday?
Rich DiGirolamo will be talking about this concept with the Nebraska Recreation and Park Association and the Pennsylvania Recreation and Park Society in the near future.
