Therefore, having a good time works two-fold, it makes the person relax and work better.  These fun activities do not have to be complex. It could mean having an informal meeting in a new café or taking a trip to the next town. It could also mean watching a movie in the evening instead of spending extra hours at work.

Enjoy the natural resources

Changing scenery makes people alert and attentive when they get back to work.

It refreshes the mind and makes them better performers at work. They become active thinkers as the new environment opens up their minds. Spending a few minutes with nature in the company of colleagues also strengthens the team for higher productivity. It eliminates the monotony that comes with long hours of work.
