Renovate your company culture to a happy one
This story is about a private company where employees often had the need for small meetings with their manager. Employees and manager agreed that everyone should have a toyfish with their name on. When an employee needed a conversation, they placed a fish on the managers desk. When he, the manager, came back to his office, it was obvious who was in need for a conversation. Fun and serious at the same time.

What is FISH!?
FISH! is a method and a series of tools that help the leader present a new culture. It can be a new culture of collaboration. A new culture of service. A new leadership culture.
Become happy in the Culture with FISH! Tools and Gifts
How do you create a work culture where employees thrive, collaboration is strengthened, and communication flows freely? The answer is FISH! – a method that combines humor, engagement, and seriousness to create a stronger and happier company culture.
FISH! is not just about having fun at work. It is a philosophy that helps create openness, trust, and stronger cohesion. Let's dive into how you can use FISH! tools and gifts to create a positive workplace.
FISH! – When Fun and Seriousness Go Hand in Hand
FISH! is known for its simple yet effective principles: Choose your attitude, Make them happy, Be present, and Play.
In many companies, it can be challenging to get time with a busy leader, which can lead to frustration and poor communication. But what if a small, simple fish could solve the problem?
In a private company, employees and the leader decided on a creative solution. Everyone got a fish with their name on it, and when an employee wanted a meeting with the leader, they simply placed their fish on his desk. When the leader entered the office, he could immediately see who needed a conversation and how many were waiting.
The solution was both fun and serious. It created an informal but effective way to signal the need for a conversation – without interrupting the leader's busy day.
Use FISH! Tools to Strengthen the Culture
FISH! is about more than just a good story. It is a method that can be adapted and used in all types of companies. Here are some concrete ways you can use FISH! tools to strengthen the work culture:
Create Visible Communication
Just like the fish on the leader's desk, visible signals can help improve communication in a company.
Idea: Create a "FISH! bulletin board" where employees can post small notes with praise, requests for sparring, or ideas for improvements.
Make Recognition a Habit
When people feel valued, they work better together.
Idea: Introduce a "FISH! of the Day" – a small fish figure that is given each day to an employee who has done something extra for the team.
Build Bridges Between Departments
Silo thinking can destroy collaboration. FISH! helps bring people closer together.
Idea: Hold a "FISH! Friday" where employees across departments gather for an informal chat over a cup of coffee and a fun activity.
FISH! as a Gift – A Different Way to Spread Joy
FISH! tools can also be used as gifts to strengthen the company's values and job satisfaction.
A small gift with great significance Give employees a small FISH! figure or a sticker with a positive message. It may seem like a small thing, but the symbolism of being part of a positive culture can make a big difference.
Create a common identity Distribute FISH! t-shirts or cups with the company's values written on them. It strengthens the sense of community and reminds everyone of the positive principles in everyday life.
Reward initiatives that create job satisfaction Each month, an employee who has lived the FISH! philosophy can receive a special FISH! award – it can be a gift card, an extra day off, or something else that motivates the team.
