International Joke Day

Wednesday, July 1, 2026

Share appropriate workplace jokes and lighten the mood. Laughter is great for team building!

Background

International Joke Day is celebrated on July 1 as a light-hearted reminder that humor builds connection — and a bit of shared laughter can ease workplace stress.

How to celebrate at work

  • Start a meeting with an optional, workplace-appropriate joke.
  • Open a 'clean joke of the day' thread in your team chat.
  • Keep it inclusive — steer clear of humor that targets any group.
