MODERN WORKPLACE

Are you applying the fresh
air/fresh food philosophy?
Integrate small regular amounts
of exercise into your day, choose
healthy food you enjoy and ensure
your commitment to consciously
being your personal best is reflected
within your organisation just as
much as on the weekends.
need to look after their health and
wellbeing, or by showing them the
path yourself, how can you expect
them to follow?

Are you living by old
rules and not adopting
a new strategy for health
and wellbeing? What may have
worked for you in your 20’s most
probably does not fit the busy life
you have now. As responsibilities,
schedules and weekly demands
change so too must your approach
to health and wellbeing. One size
does not fit all. Make sure it’s
transparent that walk and talks
replace hour long meetings,
encourage your staff to leave their
desks for a lunch break where
possible and be outside for fresh
air or fitness. How can you lead by
example and ensure your teams
know this element is also important
for your own performance.

Is your current corporate
wellbeing plan really
relevant? Is that company health
program getting you and your
teams a return on investment
and increasing engagement,
performance and productivity - or is
it just ticking the health and safety
box and not tailored enough to truly
fit your industry and operational
landscape.
At the end of the day it’s never too
late to start looking at where you
can make some simple changes
for massive results. It’s never too
late to implement the 1% rule. add
15mins a day to your agenda on
fitness or wellbeing moments. In
100 days you will be 100% better
off…. Ultimate Vitality is the key to
long term success. So make sure
you live you life with the perfect
trifecta as a leader - being healthy,
wealthy and wise.

Are you keeping it simple?
or getting tangled up in big
plans and dramatic statements.
Leading with vitality means you
balance your work and your
well-being without turning your
life upside down and making
massive marathon goals you won’t
complete. Be smart. Running a
business and balancing home life
is exhausting so bring harmony and
well-being in as a focus, not just
hard core training and strict fitness
regimes you cannot sustain. This
means a blending a balance of
cardio exercise, time for rest and
relaxation away from computers
and devices, not over booking your
agenda with meetings and making
time for creative planning and
strategy without distractions.
