Humour and Laughter Reduce the Risk of Chronic Health Conditions Stress and the hormones it produces can do a lot of damage to the mind and body over time. Since humour and laughter reduce the amounts of these hormones, it has also been shown that they can help reduce the risk of blood clots, heart conditions, and other stress-related diseases.   What Happens to Us When We Laugh? Levels of stress hormones decrease. Your heart, lungs, and muscles are stimulated. There is increased activity in parts of the brain’s reward system. Endorphins—the body’s natural pain blockers—are released.   The Benefits of Including Humour in Our Daily Life A stronger immune system.  Improved mood and anxiety relief.  Better interactions with others. Less burnout on the job.   5 Tips for Incorporating Humour in Your Life List three funny things that happened to you each day. Find a TV show or movie that tickles your funny bone. Get online. There is a little something for everyone on the internet. Comics, memes, YouTube videos, blogs—anything that gets you to laugh or smile. Reach out to someone who gets your sense of humour. Share the funny things that have happened to you recently or reminisce about something in your past that gets you laughing.  Read a funny book.

In the Hairdressing, Cosmetology, and Beauty Industry, employees often seek training programmes to boost their skills and qualifications. It's vital for employers to understand that not all programmes are equal. When considering your employees' professional development, one key factor to weigh is whether the chosen training programme is accredited. Understanding the differences between accredited and non-accredited options can significantly affect both your employees' career paths and your business's success.   Accredited Training Programmes: These programmes undergo thorough evaluation and approval by recognised accrediting bodies like Service SETA and QCTO (industry specific). Accreditation ensures adherence to rigorous standards for curriculum, instructors, facilities, and student support services. It provides assurance of quality and effectiveness, boosting employees' confidence in the programme's credibility and relevance to their career goals. Workplace approvals are crucial for unlocking points in the Skills Development Element of the BBBEE Scorecard.   Completion of an accredited training programme often results in nationally or internationally recognised credentials, enhancing employees' competitiveness in the job market.   Unaccredited Training Programmes: These programmes lack the rigorous evaluation process of accreditation, leading to variations in quality and effectiveness. Without accreditation, it's challenging to assess their credibility.   Non-accredited programmes may lack standardised curriculum, qualified instructors, and sufficient resources, raising concerns about education quality.   Some may overstate their benefits, leading to disappointment and wasted resources for employees.   The following table identifies the difference between the two:    When deciding on training programmes for your employees, carefully consider the pros and cons of accredited and non-accredited options. Assess your business's needs, employees' career goals, and the potential impact on business growth. Investing in accredited training not only provides quality education but also enhances your business's reputation and long-term success.
