Why explore this concept?

In today’s fast-paced, high-pressure work environments, stress and disconnection can take a toll on morale, creativity, and wellbeing. Research shows that laughter and humour can significantly reduce stress hormones, increase positive emotions, and strengthen interpersonal connection. By incorporating laughter and positive psychology techniques into your workplace, you can:

Boost team morale and cohesion
Build psychological resilience in times of change
Enhance creativity, engagement and learning
Improve self-care and emotional wellbeing.

This program is ideal for any workplace looking to foster a more positive, human-centred culture, not by training staff to be comedians, but by helping them find joy, levity and connection in everyday moments.

Topics

Depending on how you want to introduce this cultural capability, whether through seminars, team workshops or one-day programs (online or in person), there are options to suit your context. At it's core, this program supports your organisation in creating a common language for how you approach diversity and develop positivity, laying the groundwork for a culture that is more connected, adaptable and emotionally intelligent. Here are some of the key content areas:

How humour and laughter impact the brain and reduce stress
Techniques for accessing levity, even after difficult moments
Humour styles and how to use them appropriately in the workplace
Tools for taming negativity bias and building a more positive mindset
Creating a personal 'Humour Action Plan' to sustain habits

Micro-practices to boost wellbeing: gratitude, self-compassion, intentional smiling, mindful breathing.

I want to enrol multiple staff in a short course. How do I go about this?

Contact LaTrobeProfessional@latrobe.edu.au so that we can discuss options with you.

What certification will I receive?

The type of certification depends on the assessment involved in the course. For example:

Microcredentials: You will receive a digital credential that confirms the skills you’ve acquired, any assessments you’ve completed and potential pathways for credit or advanced standing towards a degree.
Other assessed short courses: This may include bridging programs or courses that prepare you for external certification from a professional body. You might receive a certificate of achievement or a digital badge (a digital version of a certificate of achievement).
Non-assessed courses: If a course doesn’t involve formal assessment, you’ll receive a certificate of attendance.
Single-subject enrolment: If you enrol in a single subject, you will receive an official transcript for that subject.

Please note that short courses or microcredentials are not formal qualifications under the Australian Qualifications Framework but may be eligible for consideration as advanced standing (credit) towards a degree.

What is a microcredential?

Microcredentials are short courses that are assessed, carry academic credit, and to deliver specific skills or knowledge. While they can be taken as standalone courses, many are designed to be combined or ‘stacked’ with other microcredentials to form the equivalent of a subject within a degree program. Upon successful completion, you’ll earn a digital credential that outlines the skills and credit obtained, and any opportunities for stacking.

For La Trobe microcredentials, any advanced standing or stacking pathways are clearly expressed on the course page.

What is advanced standing?

Advanced standing refers to credit for prior study or formal learning that can be credited towards a qualification, thereby reducing the number of subjects required to complete a course. For short courses or microcredentials (if these have been completed through recognised institutions or platforms and are deemed equivalent to La Trobe University subjects), credit may be granted either for specific La Trobe subjects or as unspecified credit towards elective requirements of a La Trobe course.

For La Trobe microcredentials, any advanced standing or stacking pathways are clearly expressed on the course page. Upon successful completion of the course, you’ll receive a digital credential, which may be used when applying for credit for the relevant degree at La Trobe.
