What is your policy on Nerf Guns being used at work?

Angela

If you were asked to consider the use of Nerf Guns at work, what would be your response to this request?

The IT sector and new start-ups are facing this phenomenon.

How would you communicate a well-balanced view of the potential risks to the individual and the business?

  • My wife and I had great fun a few years ago when we waged war through the house with our children's Nerf Guns once they had gone to bed. Not sure about doing that at work though, depends on the environment....but if the work gets done...

    I took my HR team out kite flying once and they talked about it for a long while afterwards. The impact was intended to be around building good relationships in the team. This worked even though one of them managed to get one of my expensive kites lodged up a tree.

    The only other thing I can add is that pre smoking ban I used to keep a loaded water pistol in my filing cabinet drawer. Smokers used to gather outside my window regularly in dry weather and were often dispersed by water mysteriously dripping off the building.
