Create a comfortable work environment.

Most of us spend more time at work than in any other environment. Given that our
surroundings have a major effect on our mood, which means it’s important that you create
an upbeat, comfortable office, shop floor or break areas for your employees. Use energizing
colours, like yellow rather than stark white. Pay attention to temperature - not too hot, not
too cold - and lighting. Studies find that natural daylight is far more energizing than
fluorescents. Put some thought into designing ergonomically correct work spaces; the
savings on the medical end when your employees avoid back, wrist, shoulder, and arm pain

put their own health on the back burner, particularly women who are juggling jobs and
family obligations. For instance, one study found that women with numerous obligations who
find a breast lump wait an average of three months before having it checked. To encourage
women to put their own health first, make it easier for them to access healthcare through in
- office clinics and screenings, flexible work hours for doctor appointments, and off - hours
