Flash Mobbing, CDC Style

Seventy-five percent of working age Americans are “job seekers,” according to a recent Social Job Seeker Survey.

Sixty-nine percent of those “job seekers” are also currently employed.

More than ever, employers are challenged with keeping good employees satisfied.

Christine Ho, a medical officer at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, thought injecting some fun into the atmosphere would help.

She organized a flash mob for her CDC coworkers, with dance practices every Wednesday.

“I had a crazy idea that a flash mob would be a fun addition to our TB walk and then the idea just snowballed from there,” Ho says.

“The flash mob is a great way to interact with other CDC employees that I may not otherwise meet or get to know.”

Don’t think your office has time for a little fun?

Think again.

“We have practices during our lunch break. We get to have fun, not take ourselves too seriously and give our brains a break for a short time in the middle of an otherwise really busy day,” Ho explains.

Other benefits? Improved morale, team building, exercise – just to name a few.

“Some have even lost weight,” says Ho.

Besides – wouldn’t it be great if work was more enjoyable!?
