Showing more of our emotions at work could be the secret to boosting the nation’s work rate, according to the latest research by LinkedIn. Two thirds of workers (65%) say that showing their emotions at work makes them more productive and nearly half (49%) are more comfortable doing so now than pre-pandemic.
Despite 66% of employees having cried in front of colleagues and bosses, humour is the emotion most commonly shared - above anger, frustration and sadness - and is called out for being important for company culture by 80% of workers.
Over two in five (43%) British workers are now funnier at work than before the pandemic (according to them) with over half of employees (59%) cracking a joke at least once a day.
