A WIN-WIN FOR EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE
Research shows healthier, happier employees are more productive, more efficient and are more likely to help others.
Chronic stress, poor dietary habits, and lack of exercise all significantly contribute to employee performance, and workers appear generally sluggish, over-tired and unhappy.
One way to tackle this is to offer you employees the chance to release their stress and tension through yoga and gentle exercise whilst educating them on healthier dietary choices through nutrition workshops.
According to a recent study on ‘work health programs’, corporations realized they saved $3-6 for every $1 invested in wellness programs. The same study showed more than a 25% average reduction in health-care costs for well-designed programs (American Journal of Health Promotion).
As a Health Coach & Yoga Instructor...
I provide group workshops that not just educate your employees on how to improve their stress, sleep, & eating habits but TAKE ACTION NOW to live a more balanced life.
In return, your organization will see an increase in employee engagement and productivity as well as a decrease in employee stress, absenteeism, & health care costs.
- in exercisers as compared to non-exercisers. A study at NASA found that while the productivity of non-exercising employees decreased 50% during the final two hours of the workday, those who had an exercise plan in place worked at full efficiency all day.
In a study from the Milbank Quarterly, one company that sponsored a corporate wellness program for 324 of its employees saved the above amount and saw their participants’ medical costs drop 40% over a three- year period.
Studies at Dupont and General Mills, which implemented comprehensive wellness education and programming, found 14% to 19% reductions in absenteeism. General Electric reported the astounding above percentage.
One of my most popular CORPORATE WELLNESS WORKSHOPS is
“Desk Yoga:Learn how to stay limber while you work.”
Problem: Repetitive office work often results in a sore lower back, stiff neck and tight hips and shoulders from sitting at a desk or computer for hours. These problems can then manifest in behaviours such as irritability, frustration and inefficiency.
Solution: Desk yoga. Katarina will lead you through a series of poses and sequences that can be done in your office setting that will minimize your discomfort throughout the day, making it easier for you to focus on work, and to support a healthier you. No change of clothes needed.
OTHER WORKSHOPS AND CLASSES ARE AVAILABLE. (including “Build Better & Healthier Habits,” “3 types of foods that fight stress and keep your energy up,” and more)
Workplace preventative care for employees can allow your employees to de-stress and recalibrate, whilst healthier dietary choices can increase their energy and motivation. Not only does this provide your employees with a more balanced work environment, but it also affects their mood and life satisfaction.
This is a win for your employees and a win for your organization because creating an environment that shows you care about your employees gives greater job satisfaction and a willingness to go the extra mile. There is also an increase in performance and productivity because of more energy and a better mood. Not to mention a decrease in health care costs!
If you feel your workplace could benefit from yoga, stress management, or nutrition workshops, please schedule a call with Katarina to learn about a tailored package for your organization.
