How
Companies Benefit
EMPLOYEES
BENEFIT
1.
Starting their work day thinking safety, they will
be more aware of performing the task at hand within safety
guidelines. So, many types of injuries can be positively
affected by a morning stretch.
2.
Since the stretch heightens awareness of proper form
in lifting, pushing, pulling, and proper posture while sitting,
they are more likely to perform the job with better technique,
thus avoiding injury. Their muscles and joints are allowed
to warm-up properly, thus helping the body adapt to the physical
demands of the job and prevent sprains and strains. So,
fewer aches and pains means fewer visits to the doctor
and chiropractor.
3.
Another safety issue is alertness. Energy
Stretch has been demonstrated to wake people up at
the beginning of a shift and keep them alert longer throughout,
thus fewer chances for any type of injury.
4.
Employee attitude and morale improve with group stretch.
They get a positive feeling about the company and draw closer
to the group, thus enhancing their job performance.
