      Attract Wealth With These 7 Feng Shui Tips For Your Office

      There’s a growing awareness that health is a huge contributor to people’s productivity at work, both in terms of mental health and physical health.

      But getting employees to exercise in their own time, using their own motivation, can be challenging. How then, do we get them off their office chairs and get their heart rates going, in a fun and inspirational way? Doing it together may be the key.

      Five Benefits to Team Exercise:

      1. Motivation

      If you’re running a race alone, it can be very easy to simply stop, because all you’re letting down is yourself. But if you’ve got a team mate cheering you on from the other side, waiting for you to pass them that baton, you’ll be that much more motivated to carry on.

      The same applies to a game of volleyball, ten pin bowling or even a group obstacle course. The Fedhealth IMPI challenge has a corporate race over a distance of 10 – 12km, which includes 18 obstacles that will be hugely motivating to everyone competing. This event is held throughout the country from early April, featuring a variety of obstacles that foster teamwork and build morale.

      2. Level Playing Field

      In a corporate situation it can become very much an “us and them” scenario, where management sits in their ivory towers and is far removed from the day-to-day running of the business, and the people who perform these tasks.

      Group exercise makes everyone equal: placing them on a level playing field where they can converse, get to know each other and work together.

      It’s a case of: leave your job titles and organograms in the office, get on your tackies and have some fun! Tiffini Wissing, Fedhealth member and founder of Cool Kids’ Cabs agrees, saying: “I love obstacle courses…I even took my entire team at the office which included 30 ladies from management, our cleaners and our drivers to do one!”.

      3. Leadership

      You’ll be amazed by how a different context can bring out qualities in people you may have never expected.

      They may be quiet as a mouse around the board room table, but put people in a challenging physical situation, such as having to get 10 people over a three metre high wall, and you could see new leaders emerging.

      Team sports and activities can highlight people’s attributes in a surprising way, and help you learn more about the individuals who make up your company.

      4. Empowering

      Getting people to try new things is one way of showing them their true potential, and this can extend into their careers too. If they achieve a task that they formerly thought impossible, like running 2km through the mud, or wading through a river holding on to a rope, they are highly likely to take this mindset into the office.

      Tiffini says: “My staff absolutely loved it and hated me for it simultaneously! It was so empowering for so many of them who never in a million years thought they’d be able to do anything like it.”

      There’s no doubt that getting your staff members to team up and complete a fun activity together has multiple health benefits.
