One culture of high flying organizations to boost productivity, is being concerned about the wellness and health of their employees. If you can encourage your employees to eat and sleep well, stay physically active, practice mindfulness, and engage in motivation activities, you will see a new level of change to their productivity.
Look inward to see how you can create an employee wellness program in house. It’s not a luxury but a strategic imperative that will bring about results. Making your environment physically and psychologically active should, therefore, be a priority. Start by introducing standing desks alongside the usual ones. Encourage employees to use the standing desks often as sitting for too long hurts their body. While it is not healthy to be on your feet all day, sitting all day isn’t advisable either, a balance should be encouraged.
As part of your team-building efforts, ensure that the activities have some element of physical activities. It can even be in the form of competition and ensure everyone participates actively. As part of your benefits and incentives, you should partner with gyms and studios. Employees should be given a free pass to use the gyms as part of their benefits.
All of this can happen within a strict budget opening. It doesn’t have to cost a lot to stay healthy.
