What a great idea! I think that the companies that allow employees to fraternize understand that this is the best way to keep employees satisfied and content to stick around. A rough day at work will always be rough, but it may not be the stick that breaks the camel's back if you have a friend at work to laugh about it with.

I agree that training is very important & that's a great example of a company that understanding this.
