The wellness of your employees isn\u2019t just an employee issue. There is good reason for companies to be concerned about the health of their staff, too. From high healthcare costs to lost productivity from sick days, a team that isn\u2019t putting wellness first hurts the bottom line. Plus, a company that doesn\u2019t support its staff\u2019s well-being might just lose employees to competitors and find it hard to recruit top talent.<\/p>\n

So, how can you bring wellness into your Alexandria, VA break room<\/a>? SunDun Office Refreshments is here to help. Follow these tips to boost the health and wellness of your staff on-site.<\/p>\n

Think Long Term<\/h2>\n

Getting or staying healthy isn\u2019t a short-term goal. It\u2019s for life. That means your team needs to make their healthy changes into habits. To start, promote snacking mindfully on vending snack options<\/a>. For example, don\u2019t snack while distracted or while doing work. That can lead to ignoring fullness cues and overeating. Instead, encourage staff to take a short break and enjoy their refreshment fully before diving back into work.<\/p>\n

Get Regular Sleep and Limit Stress<\/h2>\n

The effect of stress and sleep on employee health can\u2019t be overstated. Just imagine starting out the day with a great plan, including a prepped healthy dinner waiting in the fridge and a gym session after work. But when 4 pm rolls around, you’re tired from staying up too late the night before. You\u2019re also feeling moody from the ups and downs of the day. The result? Your willpower caves, and you grab fast food instead of eating well and hitting the gym. Sound familiar? This happens to your staff. Help them by ensuring management supports boundaries and limits to keep employees able to work at their best.<\/p>\n

In the break room, there are other ways to support good sleep and low stress. Offer non-caffeinated cold beverage options for employees<\/a> so they can beat the afternoon slump, without it keeping them up at night. An Alexandria, VA office coffee solution that includes herbal teas and decaf<\/a> coffee is also a great option.<\/p>\n

For stress, stock the break room with healthy snacks that keeps staff feeling energized and guilt-free. If it\u2019s there and easy, they will be more likely to choose good-for-you choices. This boosts wellness and keeps stress low.<\/p>\n

Wellness Means Employees Ditching the Word \u201cNo\u201d<\/h2>\n

When it comes to diets, no is a common word. No bread, no meat, no carbs. For most of us, taking away an entire food group isn\u2019t a long-term strategy. It\u2019s just too difficult. Which leads to slips, and an \u201cI can\u2019t do it\u201d attitude.<\/p>\n

Instead of removing food, think about what food you\u2019re adding. Flip the script. Getting a dietitian to come into the office can be helpful. There might even be one available from your health insurance or break room service provider\u2014there\u2019s no harm in asking. You can add their recommended snack lineup to your Alexandria, VA vending machines so staff have healthy grab-and-go options right in the break room.<\/p>\n

\"Alexandria,<\/p>\n

Use Your Peers<\/h2>\n

For weight loss and forming healthy habits, partner accountability is key. Being surrounded by others with the same goals makes it easier to attain. Plus, it can help employees bond, which leads to a closer team that achieves more.<\/p>\n

Encourage walking groups or pay for group classes onsite. It\u2019s a great way to show employee appreciation. You\u2019ll keep your staff and entice new, top talent with your dedication to well-being.<\/p>\n

Employees Need Water for Wellness<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t underestimate the power of water. Not only does your body need water for just about every process it does, but it also helps with weight management. Thirst is often misinterpreted as hunger. Being dehydrated can lead to overeating. And if you\u2019re eating dry, salty things, it can lead to being even more thirsty. Combat this by drinking the recommended ounces of water each day. It just might elevate your mood, too. Water has been shown to make people feel more positive.<\/p>\n

To support staff hydration, make sure they have great-tasting water on demand. It\u2019s easy with water filtration service. Some units let you add flavor and carbonation, too, making water extra enticing.<\/p>\n
