商务背景知识扩展

Employees’ Health and Well-Being Matter in Businesses

The recipe is simple:for a thriving business,you need thriving employees.

It’s been said that success at work leads to happiness,but we now know that this model is flawed.Because although success can bring happiness,when it comes to creating great work,the employees’ health,well-being and happiness are the most important factors.

For a business,it’s always important to make those who work for you fit,healthy and happy.This is done through creating a work culture that promotes health through all aspects of their lives.Since most people spend most of their adult life at work,it’s no surprise that they want to feel happy there.

Stressing the importance of health will help employees.There is no doubt that placing an emphasis on employees’ health and well-being contributes heavily to an employee’s overall engagement within the business.Promoting health is no longer seen as an initiative that yields “soft” results.Instead,health promotion ensures that your staff actually want and like to be at work.Over time,this has a drastic effect on the business performance.Often health improves many areas of the business,not only boosting production,but also making money.

员工的健康快乐在企业中很重要

秘诀很简单：一个蓬勃发展的企业需要蓬勃发展的员工。

据说工作上的成功会带来快乐，然而我们现在知道这个模式是有缺陷的。因为虽然成功可以带来快乐，但为了出色地完成工作，员工的健康快乐才是最重要的因素。

对于一个企业来说，让你的员工健康快乐总是很重要的。这是通过创造一种从生活的各个方面促进健康的工作文化来实现的。大多数人成年后将把大部分时间用在工作上，所以他们想要快乐也就不足为奇了。

强调健康的重要性会对员工有帮助。毫无疑问，重视员工的健康快乐对员工在公司的整体参与度有很大的促进作用。促进健康不再被视为一项产生“软性”结果的倡议。相反，促进健康可以确保你的员工真正想去工作并且喜欢去工作。随着时间的推移，这将对企业业绩产生巨大影响。健康通常可以改善许多业务领域。这些领域不仅能提高产量，还能赚钱。
