So, our startup decided to track ‘laugh per meeting’ as a KPI :joy:. Turns out, more laughs = more creative ideas. Anyone else measuring something unconventional? #SeriousNotSerious

We started tracking ‘eye-rolls avoided’ during pitch decks. Less eye-rolls, more interest. Who knew? :man_shrugging:

Laughter? Bruh, we just count how many memes we can sneak into client emails without getting a ‘WTF’ back. :man_detective:

Real talk: we saw a 15% boost in team productivity after upping the ‘laughs per meeting’ target. Metrics that matter, y’all. :brain::light_bulb:

I once pitched tracking ‘awkward silence moments’ but everyone just stared silently… ironically proving my point. :joy:

6

We track how many ‘aha!’ moments we have in a week. If it’s less than three, it means we’re slacking. Gotta stay woke, people! :yawning_face:

Weird flex but okay… we measure how quickly we can take a trending TikTok sound and turn it into a marketing campaign. #metrics :selfie::fire:

Has anyone tried tracking ‘Zoom fatigue levels’? We actually saw it decrease when our laugh metrics went up!

102 laughs in a meeting? That’s not a KPI, that’s a comedy show! Are you hiring comedians as managers? :clown_face:

Maybe laughter is the best medicine for burnout? We’ve been tracking energy levels post-laughter — noticeable improvements. :chart_increasing::sparkles:

genZgenius

I’m all for the laughs, but have we considered tracking ‘introverts’ comfort levels’? That’s where innovation hides! :shushing_face:

Low-key thinking about tracking how many bad jokes I can make before someone ‘politely’ asks me to stop. :joy: #Goals

Did you use any specific tools for laughter tracking? Or just old-school tally marks? :thinking:

As a student, I’m curious — how did you quantify ‘creative ideas’? Any tips on measuring qualitative data?

Our KPI is how many times our CEO says ‘synergy’ in a meeting. Less synergy, more productivity! :handshake:

Tracking meeting laughter sounds cool, but does it account for diversity in humor? Inclusivity in metrics anyone? :globe_showing_europe_africa:

nicheNinja

Weird metrics gang, where you at? We track the ‘uhms’ and ‘ahs’ reduced in presentations. Smooth talk = good talk. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I pitched ‘meme engagement’ as a metric to gauge company culture. CEO said no but I’m still hopeful! :joy:

Appreciate the feedback, y’all! Laughter aside, it’s about creating an authentic culture. Keep those weird metrics coming! :rocket:

Not to get all philosophical, but isn’t laughter a sign of trust? Maybe tracking it is deeper than we thought. :ocean::thinking:
