A recent YouGov survey of over 2,000
employees, commissioned by Lucozade Revive, finds nine out of ten of us suffer
with a dip in energy in the afternoon. This afternoon energy slump equates to a
shocking 24 days in lost productivity per year per employee.
These two findings really show the benefits
that can be gained from improved energy management, for both employers and
individuals themselves.
A couple of months ago I was asked by
Lucozade Revive to chair their Energy Management Summit. The panel discussed energy management in the
workplace and the role employers should play in helping their staff achieve
high energy.
The conclusion following the summit is that
there are three huge benefits linked to improved energy management within our
organisations:
Employees achieve a better
quality life
They are not only much happier but their performance at work
improves as a result.
Improved organisational
performance
Sickness absence reduces, reactive healthcare costs drop and
employee performance improves.
Less pressure on the NHS
Energy
management is directly linked to health, when energy improves our health also
improves. Healthy people put less strain
on the NHS, which currently costs the UK £109 billion per year.
