Sometimes a walk outside or a quick coffee break is not what your employees need when trying to boost productivity. Instead, they may need to focus on tasks that will help them be more productive throughout their day. Tasks, such as making a to-do list, discussing important information with co-workers, or brainstorming for an upcoming meeting, can have an even greater effect on your employees’ ability to boost productivity. If you enlist these tasks in your next employee wellness program, you are bound to see results.
Boost Brain Power Rather Than Energy
When you encourage your employees to do little tasks, such as make a list to keep them organized or discuss a problem with a co-worker, their mind stays on work. This is in contrast to taking a break outside or time for a quick cup of coffee. While these things might give your employees a little break, it takes their mind off of work. It then takes more time to get them back into work, reducing their productivity. Encourage your employees to perform tasks that will problem solve for them and give them a sense of relief. This will help them work harder and better in the long run.
Of course, every employee needs to take their mind off of work at some point, but when you are trying to increase the work that gets done, boosting brain power is the best method. Utilize teamwork and organizational skills throughout your organization as a part of your employee wellness program, and you are bound to have a more empowered, productive, and successful staff.
