Hi Team,

Stress

is the number one cause of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks,

strokes and neurological illnesses. Unfortunately, employers will lose

high performers due to this treatment. That leaves the company at a

disadvantage from a competitive perspective. While some employees feel

that their managers intentionally inflict it upon them and place them in

work environments that cause stress, many are simply workaholics that

expect the same of their workers. I think that everyone should take a

step back and recognize the value of incorporating more fun and exercise

into the daily routine. For example, many companies have 10 minutes of

stretching done to music at the beginning of each work shift. Others

have full gyms and encourage everyone to use them throughout the day.

Other companies provide early release times during the summer months and

the ability to earn early release based on performance results during

the fall, winter and spring months. Flexible work schedules and remote

work opportunities are also gaining more organizational support. Yoga

classes are huge, too! Those are just a few ideas. What does your

company do to allow everyone to de-stress, and what would you like to

see implemented?
