Making Danish prisons a happy place … to work

I’ll be away from the blog for the rest of the week. I’ve been hired by the Danish Prison and Probation Service to participate in a project to make the prisons a better place to work.

This is actually pretty cool: They’re working from the assumption that the best way to create better functioning prisons is to make them better workplaces, so people enjoy their work there. I agree :o)

I’ll let you know how it goes – have a great week and week-end!

    This sounds like an interesting bit of work. All the best with it.

    My pun brain gets going with: a bar at the jail, turning the jail into a the grail, from con to pro, etc.

    I would love to read more on this as you work with it. Let me know how it goes.

    Another couple of zingers from Zinger :o) How ’bout viewing the whole event as a “prison break”? Or “Don’t incarcerate your ideas?” :o)

    The event was good, and there’s a short piece on it here: https://positivesharing.com/2006/06/happy-at-work-in-prisons
