DESK & REMOTE WORKERS
"Good health is the foundation of a productive workplace."
How can getting in shape help you professionally?
Yes, losing weight & getting in better shape will help your physical health tremendously. But have you ever thought how it could help you in your professional career?
Mental Health
Exercise has been shown to reduce stress levels and promote relaxation, helping employees to manage the demands of their jobs more effectively.
Productivity
Studies have shown that employees who regularly exercise have increase focus, are more productive, have better attitudes/outlooks & increased energy for those long work days.
Less PTO used for sick days
Eating better combined with exercise allows your body to function better. This means that your body can better fight off sickness - allowing you to use PTO days for vacation or something you want to do instead of using them to lay in bed sick. It also creates fewer accidents on the job.
Promotion / Raise
Along with better mental capabilities comes better & quicker decision making, promoting confidence & trust. A valued & trusted worker is more likely to get a promotion and/or raise. Some studies have shown that employees who exercise regularly, earn on average 5-10% more than their peers.
Increased Energy
When your body is able to function better & more efficiently, it allows for the extra energy that would have been spent on basic functions & tasks - to be spent on other things. This could include hanging out with friends, checking off some of those honey-to-do lists, or more quality time spent with the kids.
Less Pain
Working on a computer for 8+ hours a day is going to cause some issues down the road. Whether its headaches, neck pain, back pain, tech neck - what ever the case may be. Your body is more flexible & can recover quicker the better shape you are in.
