IMPLEMENTATION OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE FOR THE EMPLOYEES


What do you generally find in an MNC??? Still wondering??? Well you might be thinking about the large machines, loads of computers and files etc ….right??? But believe me, now apart from these you are sure to find something really amusing!! Things most commonly "you would not" or rather, I should say you "should not" are basically, Sleepy desks, fat bellies, bulging eyes, ears stuck with cell phone and of course grey hair that too at the age of 24!! If by chance you get a chance to visit any of the IT offices, please utilize it…if not you are going to miss something really funny

Few years back, I couldn’t realize what my friends really meant when they named the “CELL PHONE” as their husband’s first wife. I was instead reminded of the anecdote of the dwapara Yuga where Radha got envious of the lifeless flute Krishna used to hold!!! Now I find myself in the same place!! This challenging era has changed everything right from eating habits to sleeping patterns, where exercise has become a null factor.

These are the serious issues that need to be looked upon and analyzed.Now the basic question is,

"Is there any need to implement exercise routines for the employees in the office?"
Well,according to Nuffied proactive health,” the number of overweight people has increased by 400% in the past 25 years. Employees who are seriously overweight are, not surprisingly, likely to be less productive and have more sickness absence than their healthier counterparts.
Advantages of implementing gyms:
  • improved performance and productivity from a fitter
  • sharper team
  • greater integration and team bonding
  • healthier lifestyle.

In the past few years, companies, especially those in the knowledge domain, have been promoting the need for physical workouts among their employees. Many of them have been setting up gyms at their offices too. But almost 90 per cent of the gyms are for namesake.in the absence of proper motivation and guidance, many drop out after the initial euphoria. providing a fitness service should be part of any employer's strategy to recruit and retain the best talent, because it will help to keep staff motivated and committed to the organisation. By introducing a gym into the workplace, can help employees maintain a healthy mind, heart and build up their immune systems, and this may result in a reduction in sickness absence - resulting in huge cost savings for any business.

working out the right solution(Things to be considered)

  1. When constructing a gym include cardio equipment, multi-gym, free weights, a floor area for stretching and abdominal work, showers, music and water.
  2. Ensure all staff receive fitness assessments and gym inductions before using the facilities.
  3. Put posters up around the office to remind your employees that if they are feeling stressed, a visit to the office gym will release frustration and revive them.
Last but not the least, serious implementation of a healthy regime  like, “Weight Management Programs, Smoking Cessation Programs / Tobacco Cessation Programs, Employee Health Screening and Stress Management Programs “ for a healthy outcome is the need of the hour.
