BETTER CULTURES THROUGH THE EIGHT PLAY PERSONALITIES
While these are nice to have, these are only perks and don’t equate to a playful culture. In many cases, they can create more issues when solving.
Not everyone gravitates towards these kind of play activities.
It Gets Worse When Organizations Mandate Fun In The Office.
Forced fun is anything but fun.
The kind where employees plaster on a smile when they don’t want to be there.
Where most of the activities don’t cater to them – only to those planning these kind of events.
They would rather be anywhere else in the world right now than this team-building activity.
Would you want to be sitting in a circle, eyes closed, as a leader describes you flying over the ocean into the “temple of the dolphin” (yes, this does actually happen)?
What Can Be Done Instead?
You don’t need to rely on forced fun or fancy perks to create better cultures.
You can instead create a culture that caters to the different types of fun and play that people enjoy. Where you give them the space to take part in fun at work that doesn’t come mandated by leadership. Where they have a say in what fun looks like at work.

What Is Our Approach?
We will sit down with your team to take a look at where you’re at with what you offer for fun and play at your organization.
From there, we will go over the Eight Play Personalities. Where they come from, what they are, and how they work. You’ll learn at a personal level which play personalities you fall under (you can fall under multiple categories). We’ll also cover how to identify the play personalities in others.
With that understanding, we can now look at how to integrate the Eight Play Personalities in the workplace. You will learn about the common pitfalls that organizations can fall victim to. These include “forced fun” or only catering fun to 1-3 of the Eight Play Personalities.
We will identify which of the Eight Play Personalities your organization covers, and which ones you lack. We will work with you to come up with activities and possibilities to help cover the missing Play Personalities. Whether it’s something small will little to no budget, or a major overhaul.
The End Result:
- A more flexible playful framework for your organization. Whether in-office, remote, or hybrid.
- Team-building activities you can use to be more playful and engaged in the workplace. Ones participants won’t roll there eyes at. No rock climbing wall or ping pong table required.
- A more playful culture that fits in with the values of your organization.
Who Is This For?
• You’re struggling with engagement in a remote or hybrid model of work. What do you do when most staff are not coming to the office?
• Your organization is in desperate need of a more playful atmosphere. You’re not sure if you’re working with humans or robots because people seem to all have sticks up their butt.
• Your organization is one that makes use of dreaded “forced fun” activities. Where employees plaster on a smile and would rather be anywhere else in the world at that moment.
• You have a wide range of ages and generations in your workplace. Where the only thing they can agree on is the culture of your organization is lacking.
Past work has found a morning/afternoon session tends to work best. That said, we are flexible – we can look at a full-day experience or an ongoing setup.

Playficient is based out of the Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. If you’re in the Alberta area, we can look at doing an in-person session.
While it’s better to do these in-person, they can be done in a virtual setting. Depending on the distance, we much prefer to keep things simples and go with a remote approach.
Travel and extra fees are extra should you wish to do them in person.
Are you NFP? A School? A Social Enterprise? We can offer you a further discount to work with your budget.
