A More Agile Team
It has been proven that challenging your body to do new movements also helps your mind to be open to changes too. So building up your physical stability can make everyone more prepared for the changes that come in the business environment.
Building A Stronger Team
Your employees are not just getting stronger themselves. But fitness training in a group can help foster you team. And employees who don't get a chance to work together will be able to meet each and gain more internal connections to help your company be stronger. And more oxygen in the body, more blood can better circulated, especial to the brain, which helps with problem solving as you get more blood to the pre-frontal cortex.
Few Missed Days
By exercising, not only do you strengthen you muscles but another great side effect is strengthening you immune system. Which means fewer sick days and more productivity.
For your average 10 employee company, it costs your company about $30,000 dollars in Medical Care Costs, Workers Comp and Lost Productive Cost alone. And the loss of productive costs make up the largest percent of that.
So with adding the opportunity for exercise at your company, not only does your employee see a better bottom line but so will you.
So Get YOUR Team Exercising!
