Integrating sport into management? Can these two seemingly distinct areas be discussed together? In fact, exercise and corporate teams are closely related. To have a healthy company, you must first have a healthy workforce. In this article, we will share with you two things: First, the help of exercise on work performance. Second, how to encourage colleagues to exercise together.
Exercise is not only good for physical and mental health, but also enhances work performance. However, according to the latest survey, the highest percentage of students and retirees in all occupations seem to find it more difficult to develop an exercise habit because of their work. However, exercise is not only related to physical and mental health, but also to performance.
Why does exercise improve productivity? Actually, the key point is - work-life balance.
According toHarvard Business ReviewWhen you improve your work-life balance, you can be more focused during work hours, have more opportunities to engage in stress-reducing activities, continue healthy habits, spend time with friends and family, and have more emotional support. Exercise not only helps to get rid of worries and improve your mood, but also improves the quality of sleep. Through the repetitive movements during exercise, we can pay more attention to various parts of the body and detect physical abnormalities at an early stage.
In addition, exercise can effectively deplete the body of stressors such as adrenaline and cortisol, helping the body to relax, clear the mind and calm the heart. Exercise is also effective in diverting attention from frustration and stress, thereby increasing self-confidence, enhancing self-worth and promoting mental health.
With the all-encompassing impact of sports on workers, one can't help but imagine that implementing a sports culture in a team would be a win-win situation for both the individual and the organization.
How companies can encourage their colleagues to exercise together
I. Establishment of Social Groups and Sharing Meetings
More and more companies are creating sport-friendly environments, such as choosing to set up sports clubs, inviting lecturers to come to the business end of the classroom, or providing incentives for employees to participate, such as sponsoring marathon entries and offering massage vouchers. Encourage employees to take regular breaks from sedentary work, take walks and stretch their bodies to break the habit of sitting for long periods of time. Provide information on fitness and nutrition through sharing sessions so that employees can understand the importance of exercise and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
II. Establishment of Sports Teams
Some companies even choose to let their employees participate in a sports team building program. Compared to the previous practice of letting employees eat and drink together, which had limited effect on increasing team friendship, sports activities are more valuable, not only to enhance the physical and mental health of employees, but also to create opportunities for communication outside the workplace. When we change into sportswear, help each other and learn from each other, it makes the team closer, and class is no longer a barrier to communication.
When colleagues who have participated in the activity share their own experience, it will attract other partners to join together. However, in terms of corporate management, instead of forcing employees to participate and making team sports a subtle rule that creates pressure on the group, we increase the attractiveness of the activities so that employees will be more eager to join.
Starting from a sports team building, connecting partners, also let partners enjoy sweat and sports.
Motivational Exercise Recommendations--
I. American Dodgeball
Very different from traditional dodgeball, American Dodgeball is played with specialized foam balls, and there are six balls on the court at the same time. The game is based on the principle of safety, through team discussion, to find ways to hit the players of the other team, and men and women can compete in the same field. Teams need to interact, strategize and share strategies in a short period of time. Teams sweat together on the field and give support and encouragement to their partners off the field.
II. Orienteering
Orienteering is not only a sport that tests physical and mental ability, but also helps the team to communicate and examine the current problems. Members need to utilize maps and guides to make a comprehensive assessment based on the time of the challenge and the physical fitness of the members, and on the way, they also need to find the checkpoints set at different landmarks, each of which has clues or designated tasks to test the team's strategic planning ability.
If the hierarchy of an organization is no longer a barrier to communication, and the organization becomes a team that supports and helps each other, more talents will be attracted to join. With Generation Z becoming the mainstay of the workplace, we can't rely on past class or seniority as a prerequisite for communication. Instead, we can encourage our teams to work together, create shared experiences, and increase mutual understanding and trust.
Starting from "team sports", we create a better future for enterprises. Through professional guidance on motivational sports, we plan corporate sports meets and various ball games for enterprises to help you achieve your team-building goals, as well as to enable employees to stretch their bodies and minds and strengthen their immunity.
