'Ideal' workplaces promote healthy lifestyle

Prioritizing Hygiene

None of the health measures taken will be effective if the workstation itself is host to illnesses and lacks basic sanitation. A clean lemon scented washroom is on everyone's wish list. Hygienic washrooms give a sense of comfort to employees and help in increasing their productivity.

A touch of greenry

Studies have shown the advantages -- both physical and psychological -- of having plants in and around workplaces. It is also highly cost-effective compared to indoor air purifiers.

Regulated pantry services

Organic and healthy food tops the list of reasons for happy employees. Industry experts say 70 percent to 90 percent of healthcare spending can be saved by excluding unhealthy lifestyle choices. Employees prefer healthy during break-time instead of depending on junk food from roadside shops and street food vendors.

Bright interiors & comfortable furniture

A carefully designed office ensures innovation among employees. According to psychoanalysts, mental and physical health is majorly dependent on the physical work environment. Bright furnishings and peppy interiors tend to boost the employees' mood and helps them be more productive and pro-active throughout the day. Comfortable ergonomic furniture, interactive work desks have proven to alleviate stress and encourage interaction respectively among employees.

In-house gym

After their 9-hour job, the thought to going to a gym during the peak hour where the roads are jam packed is any employee's biggest nemesis. In-house gyms provide employees with added satisfaction coupled with the will to work harder while maintaining a healthier lifestyle.
