note = "Funding Information: 1. “Spread your J@M (Joy at Mayo)”. This was a grassroots effort, using funding from the institution. Work areas were empowered to submit low-budget, measurable joy initiatives for their staff. Proposals were predominantly geared around celebration, gratitude, camaraderie, and social connections. Examples included a virtual culinary event, drive-in movie, family Halloween event, and kudos or positivity boards. Some submissions were directed toward physical stress, such as conducting ergonomic assessments and purchasing associated equipment. We approved 81 proposals across inpatient/outpatient, all 3 shields (research, education, and clinical), and support areas, involving 6,685 staff members. Over 95\% of respondents felt that their initiative strongly or somewhat strongly affected their team's sense of community. These grassroot, employee driven interventions sometimes occurred over lunch or after hours, typically if the “joy factor” outweighed the additional time required. In some cases, leaders made space within the day for the event. ",
