Protecting your assets is important. Car insurance, home security devices, and even that plastic your grandma used to leave on her chenille sofa. But are you caring for your most valuable investment - your employees? Healthy employees are happy employees who stick around for the long haul, through rough patches, transitions, and lulls. Studies haves shown that employees who eat healthy all day long are 25 percent more likely to have higher job performance, and those who exercise for at least 30 minutes, three times a week, are 15 percent more likely to produce better work. No need to replace a conference room with an Equinox and juice bar, but there are cost-effective initiatives any sized company can take to foster a healthy workforce. From yoga to fresh produce to organized team run/walks, taking care of employees takes care of the bottom line. Lisa Ross, Vice President of Human Resources at Ask.com, will explore how to cultivate your employees’ health and happiness on any budget.
