Creating Better Cultures Through The Eight Play Personalities
Paul Lopushinsky
In the quest to cultivate a vibrant corporate culture, many workplaces adopt trendy perks—think ping pong tables, kombucha on tap, and kindergarten-styles office spaces. Ones that mimic the offices of Silicon Valley. Yet these fancy perks can create issues. These perks don't cater to all employees and can promote cultures of forced fun.
Learning Objectives:
Learn what the Eight Play Personalities are and how they apply to your own life.
• Learn why most organizations only cater to 1-2 of the Eight Play Personalities.
• Explore common misconceptions leaders and organizations have about play in the workplace.
• Discover how to identify and celebrate the Play Personalities within your team.
Paul Lopushinsky (Law-puh-shin-ski) is the founder of Playficient, a consultancy helping organizations create better employee experiences.
Areas of focus for Playficient include the following:
