The Value Proposition
So, why invest in Wellbeing Laughter workshops for your customer service organisation? Here are several compelling reasons:
Improved Employee Morale
Laughter releases endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals, promoting well-being and happiness among participants. Our Laughter workshops can significantly boost employee morale and job satisfaction by fostering a positive and uplifting atmosphere.
Stress Reduction
High stress levels are a common challenge in demanding roles, leading to burnout and decreased productivity. Wellbeing Laughter workshops offer practical techniques for managing stress and promoting relaxation, ultimately improving employee resilience and well-being.
Enhanced Team Dynamics
Laughter breaks down barriers and creates connections among team members. Employees can strengthen relationships, improve communication, and enhance teamwork by participating in laughter exercises together.
Increased Productivity
Happy and engaged employees are more likely to perform at their best, leading to greater productivity and efficiency in the workplace. By investing in employee well-being, your organisation can see significant returns in terms of output and performance.
Reduced Turnover
Employee turnover can be costly for your organisation in terms of recruitment expenses and lost productivity. Wellbeing Laughter sessions can also reduce resignations and retain top talents by creating and maintaining a positive workplace culture and supportive work environment.
How often should you have a Corporate Wellbeing Laughter workshop?
On average, a 30 minute session for a Wellbeing Laughter workshop starts from £227, with discounts available for bulk bookings or ongoing programmes. This cost may seem like an additional expense for organisations already operating on tight budgets, but it’s essential to consider the long-term benefits that such workshops can bring. It is much more costly to recruit new staff and pay for extended sickness absences!
Our pricing structure offers great value for money and your employees’ well-being. Investing in Laughter Yoga workshops is not just about the financial aspect but also your team’s long-term health and happiness.
We suggest one-off Laughter Yoga sessions as a taster of the effective activity at corporate wellness days.
Monthly sessions compound the benefits of increased productivity, enhanced team dynamics, and reduced employee turnover. We provide a monthly retainer if your organisation is invested in achieving a more positive workplace culture where laughter and play improve employee morale.
Are you considering a long-term investment in your team’s well-being? Our special retainer pack of 4 Laughter Yoga workshops is a great option. Priced at £997 for up to 40 participants, or £249.25 per month – equivalent to a cup of coffee a week per employee – it is a cost-effective way to maintain a positive workplace culture.
The investment is the same whether the Laughter Yoga session you require is virtual or in-person. Travel expenses are applicable for face-to-face laughter therapy workshops.

You may ask, “Why should I invest in Laughter Yoga?”
Laughter Yoga workshops are often shared as a tick-box exercise to trial the activity. Because the results are so quick and effective, your organisation may feel that the morale boost is enough to happen once.
This is far from the truth. The benefits of morale-boosting often only last 24-48 hours inside the body. However, because the participants will remember how they benefitted from attending a Laughter Yoga session, this memory lasts a lifetime.
Employees can reflect on this as a positive experience and remember it with much appreciation and positive feelings.
However, the benefits of Laughter Yoga are compounded by regular participation, and employees become more resilient to challenges, have innovative ideas, and become motivated and productive in the long term. They become invested in your organisation and want to remain because of the Laughter Yoga workshops. Learn about the compounded benefits of Laughter Yoga.
Summary
While the cost of Wellbeing Laughter workshops may seem like an upfront investment, the long-term benefits far outweigh the initial expense. By prioritising employee well-being and creating happier, less-stressed workplaces, customer service organisations can thrive, achieve greater productivity, and cultivate a positive organisational culture.
If you are a People Officer or Team Manager committed to looking after your employees’ mental health, Wellbeing Laughter workshops offer a practical and effective solution to promote positivity, reduce stress, and foster a more engaged and resilient workforce.
Investing in the well-being of your employees is not just a cost; it’s an investment in the success and longevity of your organisation.
