Glucose levels in the body affect the productivity of your employees more than you might believe. A steady glucose level throughout the workday, ensures that workers will be able to achieve a more astute focus while completing their work and have higher levels of attention to detail. Accuracy in the planning and execution of plans is key to a successful business model, but if your employees aren’t focused on their work then their accuracy will inevitably slip. To avoid a slip in accuracy, focus, and productivity your workers must maintain a healthy diet and a fairly normal eating schedule.
Second only to sleep, nutrition is the most important facet to a person’s ability to gain and keep focus. It is clear then that encouraging meal prepping among your employees is one of the easiest ways to save your company a massive loss in productivity and revenue. This happens in distinct three ways.
Running a business is about more than just facts and figures and knowing how to market and sell. It’s also about knowing people and caring about them. Every business owner knows that if you didn’t care about your customer and their needs, then you wouldn’t have a successful business. What they sometimes fail to remember is that the same goes for their employees. If you don’t care about the health and wellbeing of your employees, your company is going to suffer. When productivity rates fall so do sales, and with a drop in sales your revenues go down down, negatively affecting the future of your business.
Being aware of the problem is the first step to fixing it. Hungry employees are a direct drain to the company's bank account and meal prepping is the proverbial guaranteed direct deposit feeding the account so that it never empties. With the inclusion of meal prep in the office, the rate of productivity will rise while the amount of distraction falls. Well fed employees are the keystone to any successful business, and the use of meal prep is imperative to keeping employees well fed.
