Millie's HR lesson "To keep your tail wagging make sure you take your annual leave, take your breaks and focus on switching off outside of your contracted hours. Adding to this make sure to get some fresh air, go walkies and do as much movement as possible whilst eating a balanced diet worth barking about. And last but not least make sure to stay connected, get hugs and treat yourself." Thanks for that Millie. Great advice as usual. #humanresources

They are a great way to support employee wellbeing.

DO I EAT ON PURPOSE? With nearly every aspect of your physical and mental health impacted by what you put in your mouth and when, asking yourself this seemingly simple question can bring up deeply personal considerations tied together with who you are, where you’re from and what you do at work and home. Food is identity, culture and medicine in every bite. In pursuit of SWORN’s Mission to empower the health & well-being of people who serve the public - and seeing every variation of eating habit on the front lines from balanced to deadly - the parallel questions for public safety leaders are: DO YOUR OFFICERS EAT ON PURPOSE? YOUR PROFESSIONAL STAFF? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO EACH OF THEM AND THE PEOPLE THEY SERVE? DO THEY PERFORM BETTER WHEN THEY EAT BETTER? If this seems daunting to ask or answer, fear not: SWORN makes it practical, confidential and effective for people in mission-critical jobs to continuously improve their health, well-being and performance. Along with sleep and fitness, SWORN draws from real-time stressor data and delivers powerful audiovisual resources, human support systems, and proven methods to help people implement and maintain healthy ways to nourish, plan, hydrate and make food choices that are right for them and their families. THOUGHTS? WHAT DO YOU SEE IN YOUR DEPARTMENTS AND NEIGHBORHOODS WHEN IT COMES TO HOW, WHEN AND WHERE OFFICERS EAT? WHAT PRACTICES SEEM LIKE ASSETS AND WHICH SEEM LIKE LIABILITIES FOR THEIR HEALTH & WELL-BEING? FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT AND ITS MISSION? WHAT INITIATIVES AND PRACTICES DO YOU THINK COULD HAVE THE GREATEST POSITIVE IMPACT FOR OFFICERS AND THEIR FAMILIES?

That bowl of office fruit is more valuable than you know… 🗣️ “New data from the UK’s leading office food delivery marketplace Just Eat for Business reveals that 1 in four UK workers admit productivity drops when they’re hungry at work. The research suggests that employees are making a concerted effort to eat healthily in a bid to remain on top form throughout the day. 1 in 10 (12%) workers find snacking and having breakfast in the morning makes them more productive, and 25% of respondents state they believe consuming healthy food enhances focus and energy levels. Fresh fruit is the preferred snacking choice among workers, with 23% labelling it as their favourite work snack. While workers admitted to reduced productivity when hungry, one in four workers also said that dehydration meant respondents felt it was difficult to stay productive when not properly hydrated”. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eMhGiFAW #hungry #hangry #work #worklife #appetite #productivity
