Employees are the most important resources for any business. Businesses with healthy and happy staff enjoy higher staff morale and productivity and, ultimately, enjoy healthy long-term profitability.
According to a survey conducted, 80% of employees at companies with robust health and wellness programs feel engaged and cared for by their employers. Take a look at the below ideas to improve your company’s workplace wellness.
Gaming Zone
It is rightly said that “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Working too much can be bad for one’s health. Having gaming zones in the office can be a great way to boost employee energy and productivity.
It is very common for an employee to feel drained after working continuously for hours; hence, a play area will help them to loosen up & refresh their energy levels. It’s also a great way to enhance interpersonal relationships, communication and bonding within a team.
Memberships
Employees should be given access to out-of-office wellbeing services at discounted rates. You can provide them with memberships or wellness services at a discounted price.
These discounts may be for healing modalities such as gym, acupuncture, spa or massage, or even services to help make life easier outside of the office.
Yoga Classes
Host meditation or yoga classes in the office. Yoga at the workplace reduces stress and absenteeism from sickness or other physical problems, to boost company morale and improve communication skills among employees. This will ensure a more engaged and productive workforce, which will definitely reap great benefits for your company.
Bring your pet to work
Allowing pets in office is an ongoing trend adopted by businesses. Animals not only keep spirits up by bringing moments of joy but also ensure higher productivity, increased collaboration, and reduced stress.
Our canine companions can also encourage staff to get outside and take a break which helps with stress management and increased creativity. If having animals running around in your office isn’t feasible for you then consider keeping an aquarium.
Wellness Adventures
Wellness adventures are in rage nowadays. It is where the employees are taken offsite to do something fun away from their desks.
The employees are encouraged in team-bonding groups to venture off-site during the day for a quick adventure break. For example, like an hour-long round of golf, jumping on trampolines or a stress-busting game of paintball.
