Joy has long been a megatrend:
It successfully shapes brands, improves communication within the team and increases motivation, creativity and productivity.

In times of permanent stress, crises and constant change processes, it is clear:
Without joy, we will not master the future.

Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe uses humorous brand communication to show how to inspire customers and specialists.
Berliner Stadtreinigung has been using appreciative humor for over twenty years and has thus massively strengthened employee identification and inspired customers.

Katrin Hansmeier, a native Berliner, has supported these and other companies in their cultural change and interviewed them about their success.

Her conclusion: Joy is more than just a feeling.

It is a leadership competence, innovative strength and survival strategy.
Companies that integrate humor and lightness into their culture create trust, closeness and stability. Exactly what is needed in uncertain times.

Joy is therefore not a “soft skill”, but a strategy for the future.

In times of constant stress, multiple crises and constant change, it is clear that we must not lose joy and lightness, because they are more than just a feeling. They contribute to leadership skills, innovative strength and brand success.
