One can also volunteer in their community. Personally, I found that planting a tree and doing yardwork was a great stress reliever. For those that have kids, spend as much time as you can with them and the stress will melt away and stay away longer! Seeing the world through a childs eyes, rememberiing how you once saw it, will surely bring a smile to your face and set the endoriphins and seratonin flowing!

I know a lot of places will give their season tickets away in a raffle of sorts. That’s a really great idea. I know a lot of places will give their season tickets away in a raffle of sorts.

That could be good or bad I think. I picture the TV show, The Office, right now where they all turn off the lights and play a FPS PC Game together. As odd as this may sound, I could picture having a movie day in the office being extremely productive. Another job was very okay with the workers being very social during the workday whenever they wanted. Just anything to make it seem as though you aren't thinking super hard for the entire day for 5 days straight. Obviously this can be abused very easily, but I think it's pretty obvious who and why people would abuse a little bit of fun time at the office. That's a pretty big hint of who is not worth keeping around. One of my last workplaces were in a softball league. That could be good or bad I think.

It may be something as simple as referring them to a job board which focuses on their expertise, helping them craft their first resume or taking their first resume and making it market-ready. I've discovered that there are many things that, with 30 years of experience, I take for granted knowing. New graduates, armed with knowledge, enthusiasm and technical skills, are often clueless about the fundamentals of the job search process and, without exception, extremely grateful for any and all help I've been able to offer and that gratitude always makes my day go a little better.

Networking events, which are basically a party with no other real purpose can be a good outlet, as long as the members take them the way they are intended. In Nashville one of the associations used to do a Bowling Tournement for Charity. It was a good event and It gave the members a chance to breath and associate in a different type of competitive environment. Still another group did a volleyball tourney. My Favorite. It was a great event. Just some thoughts. I have seen many things done by different associations to provide an outlet for their members.
