But studies show that if you want to help your employees lead a healthier lifestyle, there are some easy things you should encourage them to do. First, get them outdoors. Going for a 10-minute walk around the neighborhood is much better than eating lunch at your desk. Research shows that fresh air and exercise releases chemicals called endorphins, which produces positive feelings in the body. As a result, productivity levels typically go up.
Now that the warm weather is here, it's also a perfect time to be outdoors. Instead of doing the usual Zoom Meeting call, why not set up an Walking Meeting for your staff? You can still wear masks and practice physical distancing but you'll be outside enjoying the summer time weather, as opposed to being cooped up indoors. Some of our more popular Team building programs include our Outdoor Meetings and Wellness Walks. We have noticed that companies who take advantage of these kinds of programs, often have happier employees and less conflict at the workplace.
The good news is that all of this is easy and it doesn't cost much. All it requires is an attentive boss (that's you!) who's "in tune" with the staff. Want more tips on how to keep your team happy and healthy? Check out our latest episode of "Live Your Dream." Click HERE.
