The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, November 18, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT).
Last week we talked about the blended workforce and its benefits and challenges. This week we’ll be talking about wellness programs ; how they improve employee performance and the importance of leadership buy-in for employee participation.
According to the American Heart Association, sedentary jobs have increased 83% since 1950, and physically active jobs now make up less than 20% of our workforce . By comparison, in 1960, about half of the US workforce was physically active.
Being physically active improves employees’ health, which is ultimately good for your business. In fact, research shows that workers who exercise during the day reported a 15 percent boost in performance, a happier mood and an increased ability to meet deadlines.
We all know how hard it can be to fit exercise into a busy schedule, so what should we do?
Whether you have an on-site corporate fitness center or not, there are simple ways to help employees find time for fitness and support their overall health and well-being.
