Happy employees are healthier and more productive – so don’t overlook the importance of wellness & employee engagement in the workplace.

While most people, generally, would rather spend time with their friends and family than be at work, there’s no need for work days to be all doom and gloom.

Investing time and effort into making your workplace a more enjoyable place to be can have tangible positive benefits for employees, teams, and your organization. Here are some reasons why Employee Engagement , such as on-site fitness/ wellness/ nutrition programs should be part of your HR strategy.

Happy employees are healthier

Absence and absenteeism is a significant problem. With 10- 20 sick days allowed per year, many people take that time off, and more, to deal with headaches, stress, illness, even short term disability.

Content employees who have fun at work are more likely to avoid the negative effects of stress and anxiety and have even been shown to have a lower heart rate variability with is associated with a risk of disease.

Health effects happiness, which is a direct result of endorphins being released from exercising, has on your workforce will also help to reduce absence costs and reduce employees coming to work despite illness, injury, anxiety, etc., often resulting in reduced productivity. If your employees are generally healthier as a result of the increased employee enagnement including fun they’re having in the office, then they’ll take less time off due to sickness.
