Corporate wellness and corporate fitness is an opportunity for businesses to enhance the creativity of your team leading to new an exciting developments within your company as well as improving your overall productivity. A happy, healthy and motivated employee will care more about the quality of their work, be less likely to burn out and knowing their company is actively looking out for their wellbeing, they will naturally reciprocate this by looking out for their company in return.
Here are our top 5 reasons for including a corporate wellness/fitness program into the week:
1) Improved Mental Health
With anxiety, stress and depressions on the rise it is vital we do what we can to provide services to promote better mental health our team. Participating in corporate online fitness classes or corporate online yoga can help a team to bond as a group giving them a sense of community which is a key component of maintaining good mental health. Physiologically the workouts will also release hormones that elevate their mood as well as developing their self confidence and self image.
2) Improved Physical Health
Online corporate fitness classes taken by high quality professionals will reduce occupation related health problems such as bad backs, obesity, high blood pressure and many more health concerns that can arise from a sedentary job and sitting for long periods of time.
3) Business Innovations
Enhanced cognitive capacity and boosted creativity come from reduced stress and improved mental / physical health which can be achieved through a high quality wellness program leading to exciting new developments within your business. The brain requires variety of experiences in order to function at a high level. Having a tunnel vision approach to work is not the best way to produce innovative ideas and quality work.
4) Increased Productivity
If you’re employees are not managing a good work:life balance and are always tired from poor health and low mood/energy levels it won’t matter how many hours they work, you can bet they will not be producing much meaningful work. Investing in their health alongside their day to day tasks will mean they produce more quality work with the hours they are working.
5) Save Money
In an age where people are switching jobs more frequently, the staff turnover and cost of retraining can be a real problem for many businesses as both of these are expensive processes. If you invest in keeping your team happy they are less likely to go searching for other positions where the grass may look a little greener. It’s highly likely that the cost of maintaining your employees health and wellbeing will be far less than that of retraining and recruiting.
All this is about striving to create a healthy business culture where you are enhancing relationships between employees, and also between them and the business. Negative business cultures due to poor work:life balance and hostile work environments are very destructive for businesses and will always negatively impact of the success and day to day function of a business.
