Also they can encourage employees to use stairs instead of using elevators. In addition, the employees who are working should be informed that getting up, stretching and moving is completely accepted and normal behaviour in your organisation. Furthermore, HR services in the organisation must do some appreciation for employees who are practising these kinds of activities.

In addition, companies can use an enterprise social network to share quick tips and activities to improve employees’ physical and mental health. Furthermore, the company can implement HR services like health classes for employees to learn about healthy habits to reduce stress. Moreover, managers can improve employees’ wellbeing by simply being thankful for what they have done for the company.
