Business Productivity and Employee Health

Business productivity factors include employee health care

and that can impact the cash flow of any business.

Making sure executive, middle managers and hourly workers are productive is also a matter of putting care into controlling the cost of employee health. Large corporations will study employee productivity statistics and roll out health and wellness programs for each department head. Those managers become responsible for employee health.

But what about the small business owner who’s stretched in running a productive operation, especially in an office where people are mostly sitting and there’s no industrial work? Are there any health risks?

Dr. Marina Banik, a chiropractor in South Pasadena, California, says there are easy preventive measures to maintain good employee health standards that focus on bio-mechanics.

“One simple step is to drink water,” she says, “and another action is exercise. The discs in the vertebrae need to be hydrated while exercise helps the bones absorb nutrients.”

Caring for employee stress is another preventative step that’s an affordable health option for businesses.

Impossible deadlines, grieving the loss of a loved one, or struggling through a painful divorce will affect posture and that places stress on the vertebrae causing subluxation, the result of spinal bones with improper motion or position affecting nerve communications between the brain and the body.

Chiropractic adjustments can reduce the impact on the nervous system.

Healthy employees are one part of a healthy business operation and that leads to positive cash flow.
