HR has a (personalized) laugh

A day without laughter is a day wasted. —Charlie Chaplin

A person who knows how to laugh at himself will never cease to be amused. —Shirley MacLaine

The Human Resources department recently enjoyed some laughter at ComedySportz in Milwaukee, at a surprise private show for the team. Unbeknownst to her employees, senior vice president Molly Schissler had provided the ComedySportz players with some details on each of them, so that the players could incorporate a few customized zingers into the show.

Training and development manager Milene Below was shocked when one of the players mentioned working on Ask Seymour and reminded the other players to “be sure you update your content!” Much to the amusement of the team, Molly wasn’t spared from being spoofed either: One of the players pretended to have a broken arm and complained of multiple injuries. “I’m not saying I’m accident-prone, but I have had more than my fair share of injuries!” Molly admits. She adds: “It was all good-natured fun, and we had a great time with plenty of laughter. Remember to make time for laughter!”

Above are training specialists Nikki Shelton-Moss and Jaime Sagler, payroll and benefits specialist Bernita Hardiman, Molly, Milene, HR rep Cheryl Fregoso, talent acquisition manager Janet Rosenthal, and payroll and benefits manager Cindy Lohrey at ComedySportz.
