In order for business to succeed, the employees need to be able to successfully perform their duties and thrive in their environment; this is done through balancing one’s health, wellbeing, and happiness in all aspects of their lives. As a business, it is of utmost importance to recognize the value of healthy and happy employees, as it promotes a positive work culture, improves work performance, and reduces employee turnover because of positive engagement and enjoyment of one’s work. Most people spend the majority of their adult lives at work, and because of that, it is important to encourage maintaining health and happiness throughout this important time in one’s life so that they, and correspondingly, your business, can thrive.
