How to Improve Your Place of Work? Focus on Employee Wellbeing

The Harvard Business Review asks an important question: “How do you create a great place to work?”

One way to solve the challenge? Focus more on employee wellbeing.

Ron Friedman is author of The Best Place to Work: The Art and Science of Creating an Extraordinary Workplace. In HBR, he writes: “A growing number of companies have begun recognizing that helping employees maintain their wellbeing is now a vital component to creating a thriving workplace. And many are taking steps well beyond the usual corporate wellness programs to foster employee wellbeing.”

He also offers a list of “the most intelligent workplace practices” he’s encountered recently, including:

Facilitate physical fitness. A wide range of studies have found a direct link between physical movement and mental agility. We have clear evidence that regular exercise improves concentration, memory, and creativity – not to mention mood.

Make healthy eating easy… Not only do healthy foods keep us energized, research indicates they facilitate higher quality work.

Foster mental growth. As human beings, we have a psychological need for growing our competence. That applies to all domains in life, but it’s especially true at work.

Indeed, one study the piece sites is from the Journal of Health Psychology. It’s titled “On carrots and curiosity: eating fruit and vegetables is associated with greater flourishing in daily life.” It provides a fascinating look at the benefit fruit and vegetables (FV) can have on the human mind.

It concludes: “It provides the first evidence that eating FV is related to greater eudaemonic well-being in a naturalistic setting. Eating FV was also related to greater self-reported curiosity and creativity. FV consumption may underlie a broad range of experiences that signal flourishing. Future randomised controlled trials of FV should include measures of eudaemonic well-being as outcome variables.”

DID YOU KNOW?

After hosting 24 CPC BNG events, we were a little nervous bringing in a “body” speaker to address our business folks, as most of our speakers have focused on “head and/or heart” topics in the past. Well, Dr.Natalie addressed the whole brain and body and hit it out of the park. She reminded us we cannot serve our God-given missions if we have a weak, unhealthy body. And so much disease comes from what we put in our mouths and lifestyle habits. As we know, obesity, diabetes, ADHD, depr…
50% of premature deaths in the U.S. are related to modifiable lifestyle factors.
I won a Wellness Lunch for my office through a drawing at my fitness studio. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but working with Kay Grobel and Dr. Natalie to set up the event was a breeze. Dr. Natalie’s presentation on nutrition was truly eye-opening to me and all of my co-workers that attended. She presented the information in a clear way and really made everyone in the audience feel at ease. Nutrition is complicated and difficult to understand but Dr. Natalie made it seem not so overwhelming. …
I would like to share my personal story on what Dr. Jim and Finish Line Chiropractic have done for my health. I have suffered from sinus infections for years and I have been on antibiotics 4-6 times a year for at least 10 years. It was recommended that I go through surgery to help open up my sinuses. I was miserable. My good friend Kay Grobel recommended that I come and see Dr. Jim at Finish Line Chiropractic. On my first visit I explained my concern about my sinus issues, and he shared with m…
Finish Line’s team is simply fantastic. Their presentation was informative, humorous and delightful. The shakes they provided were absolutely delicious. We have had many other speakers in our office, but Finish Line was something special. Our employees were engaged like I have never seen them before! I would highly recommend your next wellness presentation to be by Finish Line. They are a highly professional and intelligent group of people!
I just want to say a big THANK YOU for your help last night. You did a great job and you made my job easier. I appreciate you. I had 3-4 people comment how cheerful you were and how competent you were. Actually, I think you’re ‘doctor material’. Have you ever thought of going back to school? Anyway…..thanks again. I loved having you there last night. Success, Health, and Happiness,

To Kay, Ashley, and Lori, Prior Lake State Bank would like to thank Finish Line Chiropractic for coming into our bank and providing free massages to our staff! Lori and Ashley did a wonderful job in providing a relaxing break from the daily routine. We would welcome them back as soon as possible. Thank you very much!
I found the session to be rather informative in regards to items found in foods and what to try to avoid. And which types of foods are better for our bodies. I am really looking forward to making some of the foods from the recipes that were given us – 10 items needed.
As the Marketing Director at Finish Line Wellness, Kay has presented phenomenal qualities needed to produce quality results in this competitive field of wellness and at the highest level of performance required by our company. I have come to know Kay as a great individual performer and a stellar leader. Her unconventional way of thinking contributes to solving practical issues with efficiency. She is creative! I have been blown away again and again by not only her ability to consistently produ…
