Wolcott, CT June 8, 2007 -- If Congress can take a recess, why can't employees - and their employers?

Well on June 21st they can -- it's Recess At Work Day! Don't believe us? Check out Chase's Calendar of Events; the official bible of unofficial holidays. Or you can visit www. recessatworkday. com

It has been proven that breaks are essential for satisfaction and alertness. Brain processing requires periodic downtime to recycle chemicals crucial for long-term memory loss. "Now if that explanation doesn't give you a headache" says Rich DiGirolamo, Founder of Recess At Work Day, "perhaps these reasons might encourage company officials to offer a break on June 21st"
 Improved Employee Morale and Team Spirit  Stress Management  Employee Retention - what does a new hire cost you?  Being recognized in the business community as a forward thinking employer  Increased Productivity  Your bottom line just might soar  Improved mental and physical health, which just might bring down insurance costs

So how does one celebrate Recess At Work Day? There really are no rules. Just take a break from the daily work routine and do something fun. The possibilities are endless. Perhaps create a company time capsule. Or engage in a fun teambuilding activity. When was the last time your company did some volunteer or community work? These are some of the examples offered by DiGirolamo at the Recess At Work Day website.

Last year Sargoy, Stein, Rosen and Shapiro took some time out for a recess. Here is what Stephanie Sage had to say: "Recess at Work Day was a complete success! We are planning to make it an annual event and I heard a "rumor" that we might have one in the fall! And who said you can't have a company picnic in Central Park.

So whether you're twenty-two or sixty-two, June 21st is the day to relive your youth, create team spirit and have a little fun. Is it Recess Yet?
