It is critical for business owners and managers to realize that their most valuable assets are their people. We want our employees to appreciate their workplace and bring their best self to work every day. Encouragement of exercise as a lifestyle choice benefits our staff in a variety of ways!
Employees that are physically fit are less prone to become ill
A physically healthy person is often more immune to the “bug going around” than an unfit person. A fit personnel base results in lower absenteeism and health-care expenditures.
Employees that are physically fit have more energy
Increased and maintained energy throughout the day is one of the many advantages of regular exercise. This energy enables the person to remain focused on the task at hand, bringing their best self to each task.
Employees that are physically fit have higher self-esteem
A fit and healthy person has a high level of self-confidence since they have demonstrated to themselves that they are capable of achieving a level of physical fitness. This self-assurance allows the person to push themselves and aim for higher levels of accomplishment at work.
Fit employees inspire trust
Anyone who maintains a high degree of fitness is someone in whom others have faith.
Fit personnel are more likely to take on leadership jobs. Because of the numerous advantages of living a healthy lifestyle, a fit person makes an excellent leader.
Fit employees set and achieve objectives
Extraordinary fitness frequently necessitates that an individual create and achieve fitness-related goals. Staying committed to your goals and seeing them through to completion is a talent that is naturally transferred to the workplace. An individual who has demonstrated the capacity to establish aggressive goals and then achieve them is a tremendous asset to any firm.
Employees that are physically fit have better attitudes
Employees who are physically fit “feel happy.” They have a physical and mental “balance,” which results in a more pleasant attitude at work.
Employees that are physically fit are less stressed
Regular exercise relieves both physical and emotional stressors that life throws at us, thus a healthy employee has lower overall stress levels than an employee who does not exercise on a regular basis.
A fit employee base provides good opportunity for team building
Team building exercises are excellent ways for employees to advance their professional relationships and explore new ways to collaborate. Employees who maintain a degree of fitness are obviously more likely to participate in these activities.
Encouragement of fitness shows concern for employees’ well-being
Employees TAKE NOTICE when an employer demonstrates interest for their employees’ health and well-being through a range of wellness programs. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that employees who participate in an employer-sponsored wellness program have much lower employee turnover.
