To attract and retain top talents, employers must provide more than attractive remuneration or fancy workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is reported that Malaysian employees lost\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2WjJ4Hg\">67 wrk days<\/a>\u00a0due to health-related issues. This causes a significant loss of productivity and money to employers. It is also found that Malaysian employees practised poor diet and slept less than 7 hours. These issues are ultimately reflected in their well-being at workplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Do Employees Need?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure optimum productivity of employees, employers should do more than providing the workforce with a flashy medical insurance card. What are other productive ways instead?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing employees with a medical insurance card equipped them with a financial safety net to foot the cost of medical bills. This practice solves the problem&nbsp;<strong>only<\/strong>&nbsp;when they surface. In contrast, employers should \u201ccondition\u201d employees a la Ivan Pavlov to care for their health. Conditioning their choice of diet and lifestyles aid in improving their state of health for overall improved work and life quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Prevention Is Better Than Cure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Workplace can be a stressful environment to be at therefore, it pays when employees look after their own health. Providing healthcare employment perks is a good start, but employees should be equipped with skills to look after themselves. When they are able to care for their own health, the likelihood of poor productivity due to health-related issues is reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evidently, Malaysians are dying from a variety of health risks \u2013 some which are preventable. A global&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/society\/2017\/sep\/14\/poor-diet-is-a-factor-in-one-in-five-deaths-global-disease-study-reveals\">study<\/a>&nbsp;found that poor diet is responsible for one in five deaths worldwide. Malaysians are not known for living healthy lifestyle either as we are known to be the most obese in Southeast Asia, according to another&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nst.com.my\/news\/nation\/2017\/06\/246538\/malaysians-most-obese-region\">study<\/a>. It is lamentable that certain deaths can be prevented but no proper actions are taken. Employers should take the helm and motivate employees for better health living. In consequence, the productive capacity of employees can be increased when they are not falling sick or succumbing to deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How To Make The Big Leap Forward?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to make a difference for your team?
