Why it is important to encourage your employees to exercise
1. Exercise along with a healthy diet gives employees the energy they need to get through the work day.It is been statistically proven that by getting at least 30 minutes of continuous exercise during the day improves a person's mental and physical well being.Would you encourage your employees to exercise if you knew they would perform their given responsibilities better?And if that meant a better quality product which ultimately meant more sales for the business, would you encourage it then?I think you might spend a few extra minutes trying to encourage all your employees to get out and get fit wouldn't you?
2. The average American today is working about 2000 hours a year.They are working longer days, more hours, and probably not getting paid what they deserve.This can lead to a lot of stress on employees and a lack of motivation to basically perform well anywhere.Exercise contributes to maintaining a healthy weight, less stress, and how well a person sleeps at night.Exercise releases certain endorphins which help with stress and well being.And since a person's well being is directly related to how they act and work doesn't it sound like a good idea to get your employees more active? 3. Not only is exercise good for your mental and physical well being, but without it, it can cost you money.Not all business owners know and understand that when they have employees that are overweight and physically unfit, it's going to cost them more money to hire them. Here's how:
So why is it important to encourage your employees to exercise?Well, it depends on how you look at it really.What kind of employees would you rather have; ones that miss work often due to illness and injury; ones that miss work because they are stressed out and on the verge of a nervous breakdown; physically unfit mentally and physically and cost you money?Or do you want employees that will show up for work on time, have the energy required to do a little extra each day, help increase your productivity and revenue, and have a way to release the expected stress of the 9-5 job?The second employee definitely has more qualities to help your business succeed don't they?That's why it is so important to encourage your employees to exercise.
