The Thanksgiving holiday is over, and it’s normal for employees to feel the post-holiday blues upon returning to work.
Here are some tips to help your employees come back to work feeling recharged and refreshed:
Ease back into work
Encourage your employees to take it easy and to spend some time getting organized by planning their tasks for the week. This will help them stay focused.
Encourage healthy eating
During the holidays, people often indulge in good food, cocktails, and desserts. Now is the time to help them get back on track by encouraging healthy eating habits after the holidays, and consider including some nutritious snacks in the pantry or even office potlucks with healthy food options. For more competitive teams, vote on the best-tasting, healthy dish!
Fun wellness challenges
A walking challenge, for example, is a common way for a company to promote health. Everyone agrees on this idea, and the reason is that it works really well!
Walking has been shown by science and statistics to be good for your health and lower your risk of getting sick.
So, walking tasks are a great way to get your employees to be more active without making them do something too hard.
Most people already have some form of fitness tracker on their watches or smart phones that automatically counts their steps. Make it a contest where whoever gets the most steps by the end of December gets a prize—a paid half-day off or a massage gift certificate!
