Benefits of Office Fruit
Ask any businessperson what they believe determines the success of their organisation, and almost always they will point to the importance of their employees. Employee morale, workload, work-life balance, and health are key factors that influence sales, profits and overall performance.
Companies are increasingly investing time and effort to implement health programs in the workplace that are aimed at enhancing employee performance. What and when an employee eats is one of the key determinants of how well they will perform. By promoting a basic understanding of nutrition in the workplace, employers and workplace health care professionals can encourage employees to adopt healthier eating habits. The resulting increase in energy and more positive attitudes will reinforce the importance of diet and nutrition.
According to research conducted in 2005 by Medibank Private, Australian workers with poor health take up to nine times more annual sick days than workers with good health, while the healthiest employees are nearly three times more productive at work than the least healthy. The research demonstrates the monetary link between employee health issues and critical business drivers, like productivity and absenteeism. And, it reflects US and European research, which has found employees in good health are up to 23 per cent more productive than those in poor health.
