Happy Mental Health Awareness Month! Here’s your reminder that using humor at work can boost your mood a helluva lot faster than a white choco macadamia cream cold brew. Better yet, humor is 100% keto! But how many of you really use humor strategically? Now we’ve got a clue thanks to fine folks at BGSF who ran a LinkedIn survey about this.
