Provide in-office\u00a0massages<\/h3>\n<p>Who wouldn\u2019t want to take a break from crunching numbers or organizing their Outlook calendar for a massage? This popular perk increases employees&#8217; feeling good. And massage has benefits beyond relaxation.

Offer ergonomic workstations<\/h3>\n<p>Ergonomic workstations are highly beneficial to both employee and employer. Designed to maximize comfort, safety, and efficiency, these stations limit the risk of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/osha.oregon.gov\/OSHAPubs\/ergo\/ergoadvantages.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">musculoskeletal disorders<\/a>\u00a0that often result from cramped and uncomfortable spaces. They\u2019re also surprisingly cost-effective; companies regularly work with furniture vendors to secure these items for a reduced rate.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Permit flexible work schedules<\/h3>\n<p>A welcome\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebalance.com\/flextime-hours-and-benefits-1177979\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">benefit<\/a>, flexible schedules allow individuals to have agency over their time. In turn, this leads to a healthier work-life balance. Employees are able to carve out their day (or week) as they see fit. This ensures that they can tend to both their professional and personal needs without affecting the company\u2019s bottom line.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Allow for stretch breaks<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it \u2013 office life can be fairly sedentary. It\u2019s easy to get stuck in the same position for hours on end. And that can actually put undue stress on the body. To combat this, incorporate stretch breaks into the daily routine. This will help get the blood flowing, mitigate tension, and allow employees to get in tune with their bodies.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Chip in for gym memberships<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/stress-management\/in-depth\/exercise-and-stress\/art-20044469\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Exercise reduces stress<\/a>\u00a0and boosts energy \u2013 so it makes sense to encourage employees to hit the gym. \u00a0As an added bonus, it\u2019s one of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/resourcesandtools\/hr-topics\/benefits\/pages\/fitnesscenters.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">most popular benefits<\/a>\u00a0for employees of all industries.<\/p>\n<p>There are a myriad of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeel.com\/blog\/workplace-wellness\/11-ways-to-celebrate-national-employee-wellness-month\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wellness programs<\/a>\u00a0from which to choose. Of course, regardless of size, budget, etc., it\u2019s vital to select ones that align with the company culture. Activities that excite and motivate will lead to happier and healthier employees.
