It has been proven that the method LaughterAtWork is efficient. A period of laughter at the workplace has proven to reduce stresshormone in employees laughing. Endorphins are being released from the brain - making everybody more happy. Efficiency and financial turnover has also been affected radically and positively.

The IT-company Four-Systems employees laughed every morning in may 2004. The laughing sessions were led by Thomas Flindt - inventor of the LaughterAtWork concept. An AIR-PAS system - (Artificial Intelligence Respiratory Psycho-physiological analysis System) was used to test the participants. The system was developed by Medical doctor Bo von Scheele from the psycho-physiological institute at Karolinska instituttet in Sweeden.

The testing was conducted by Anders Lonedal. A test group of 4 employees were randomly chosen. They were tested with the AIR-PAS system in the beginning and the end of the project. It was concluded that "repeated laughter exercises has a significant effect on stresslevels. Individually the results are remarkable. The body stress levels have been reduced significantly."
