Exercising at Work Boosts Productivity
Employers who allot designated time at the workplace for exercise or other health-promoting activities discover that their employees show increased work-related productivity.
Studies have shown (2011 Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine) that employees who spend 2.5 hours per week engaging in physical exercise at the workplace were more self-satisfied with the quantity and quality of their performance. Employers reported increased work efficiency. Those who participated in fitness programs during working hours had decreased sick time, compared to those who did not engage in these activities.
Employees who attend these programs at work generally show improved balance in their lives because they have more time for personal/family responsibilities. In a recent study presented by the American College of Sports Medicine, employees who were more physically active exhibited decreased job burnout and depression. For those suffering depression, they often showed improvement.
It is widely known that physical activity improves health and is a significant factor in reducing employer’s healthcare cost. In addition, this also empowers workers to be more productive and improves manager-employee dynamics.
Designating time during regular work hours for physical fitness has been proven to increase productivity. It fuels the brain and helps with motivation to succeed. Employees who make the time for regular physical activity that suits their personal fitness preference will reap the benefits. Managers who encourage employees to be healthy offering these programs in the workplace will have employees return to work, energized, focused, and more positive overall.
