Halloween is a great time to dress up and encourage office staff to do the same.

Halloween is a great time to dress up and encourage office staff to do the same. Patients appreciate the light mood and free candy, and staff members bond and amuse themselves with costumes and decorations. The lighthearted mood eases stress for a few days. April Fool's day is another great opportunity to have some fun, and great gags are discussed for days after.
