Your employeesโ health is affecting your revenue and scalability, whether youโre paying attention to it or not.
Your employees donโt leave their health at home when they walk into work.
Chronic stress, poor sleep, low energy, physical inactivity, poor nutrition, mental exhaustion, they all come to work with them.
When the human being is depleted, performance eventually follows, affecting productivity, retention, revenue, and the organizationโs ability to scale.
The questions organizational leaders need to be asking are:
Does the way work is structured leave people with enough mental and physical capacity to take care of themselves outside of work? Or are they so depleted by the end of the day that sleep, movement, nutrition, and self-care become the first things to go?
Does your organization actually make employee health a priority, through the resources you provide, the conversations you have, and the example your leaders set around boundaries and taking care of themselves?
When someone is struggling, do they feel safe asking for support, or do they feel like admitting theyโre struggling will make them look weak or less committed?
The infrastructure surrounding the employee either supports healthy behavior or makes it harder.
Employees still have a responsibility to take care of themselves. Organizations have a responsibility to create an environment where doing that is actually possible.
When both sides do their part, you donโt just get healthier employees. You get people with more capacity to lead, perform, contribute, and stay, which means stronger productivity, better retention, greater revenue, and a stronger ability to scale.
That is human performance.
Employee health isnโt a wellness issue. Itโs a business strategy.
What would change inside your organization if employee health was treated as part of the performance strategy instead of something separate from it?
