Is it good to LOL at work? A new survey from Accountemps suggests it could be. Nearly eight in ten (79 percent) chief financial officers (CFOs) interviewed said an employee's sense of humour is important for fitting into the company's corporate culture.The survey was developed by Accountemps, the world's first and largest specialised staffing service for temporary accounting, finance and bookkeeping professionals."Sometimes, a little levity goes a long way toward building rapport among colleagues and diffusing workplace tension," said Max Messmer, chairman of Accountemps and author of Managing Your Career For Dummies. "All work and no play can erode employee morale."Messmer added, "Job candidates should let their personality shine when meeting prospective employers.The interview is no place for a standup comedy routine, but it is the right time to show hiring managers you are approachable and will be easy to work with."CFOs were asked, "How important is an employee's sense of humour in him or her fitting into your company's corporate culture?"Their responses:- Very important 22%- Somewhat important 57%- Not at all important 20%- Don't know/no answer 1%The national study was developed by Accountemps. It was conducted by an independent research firm and is based on more than 1,400 telephone interviews with CFOs from a random sample of US companies with 20 or more employees.For the study to be statistically representative and ensure that companies from all segments are represented, the sample was stratified by geographic region and number of employees.The results were then weighted to reflect the proper proportion of employees within each region.
