Business Habits I Am Bringing Back to America.

1. Casual attire in the office.
I love my job because I can wear jeans everyday. I am comfortable and able to get my work done. I don't have to worry about dry cleaning. I think everybody would be happier.


2. Eating lunch together at the office.
We eat lunch together every day and I really like it. I learn so much about what everybody is working on, what they are looking forward to in their personal lives, and best of all, I get to hear a lot of funny stories about from the past.


3. Playing a game of cards after lunch.
At least once a week, we play a round or two of a card game called 'Jungle Speed'. It's fun and it clears the mind before going back to work.


4. Having a leisurely cup of coffee/tea/water/acai berry juice after lunch.
Continuing the after lunch conversation but the conversation usually is a little calmer during coffee as everybody waits for the caffeine to kick in.


5. The occasional ice cream break before quitting time.
A treat for working so hard.


6. Company outings to places people actually like.
Paintball > Picnics


7. More personal relationships between bosses and employees.
I feel like I can talk to my bosses about anything. Rollerblades, traveling, Game of Thrones, Beyoncé.  I think that's really cool and makes me feel less nervous about butchering the Spanish language when I talk to them.


8. Breaks to play with/celebrate the success of a new project.
When a new project is completed, everybody has a new toy for a couple of hours. It's great.


I was really hoping for an even ten but this is a good start.
