Get Fit For Work

"For most business owners and managers it is easy to forget exercise, grabbing ANOTHER black coffee, eating late and forgetting breakfast however the risk factors of this are not only dangerous but can demodulate your team. Your business and team are only as healthy as you are. At Cocoabean, I am continuously aware that we are in a pressurized environment and that the team needs to have a healthy work/life balance. I enjoy being healthy and have pleasure in seeing a healthy and happy work force of staff. In simple terms, healthy bodies, healthy minds, healthy productivity and morale - a pretty simple formulae which works. 

Rather than purely putting the Consultants through just Recruitment courses, I also promote our new Brown Bag lunches where I have arranged for a number of external people to come and do talks on things such as Yoga, mediation and healthy eating. The idea of staff having a "chill out" within their working day was something which I could not comprehend years ago and was overall a brutal horrific experience within a busy working office.  Now I can see how clearly beneficial it is to have time out. Within year 1 of business not only have we won Highly Commended for Best Website, reached the finals for Best Business Woman of the year, grown to 6, won a number of highly exclusive contracts, gained high levels of respect from our customers and candidates but we are now hitting the big smoke and going for Best New Start up Business, Best Leader within the Recruitment Industry and The Demateur Award for Best Inspirational Woman all of which will be held in London later this year". Not a bad result for an office who has breaks, chills out and has the occasional burst of fun is it??? 

Top Tips

  1. For all of those who are workaholics - you would never forget an important meeting with a customer so don't forget an important meeting with the rowing machine! You can not work to your best ability if you are unfit.
  2. Ensure your staff have breakouts! - Why not create a break out zone in your office?
  3. Promote breaks and lunch breaks - We are all human - The brain works threefold AFTER a short break.
  4. Break the mould - why not give it a go?
  5. Encourage wellness programmes - why not set a team competition?
  6. Stop feeling overwhelmed and stop overwhelming your team. Pressure equals low productivity. Fun, fresh and innovative ideas increases team morale, productivity and enjoy!
