The more weight you can get your obese and overweight employees to lose is all to the good. Once you get some of the fattest people to lose weight, you’ll probably be astonished at how much better they feel, and how much less work they miss due to illness.

The first place to start is by establishing a no-smoking workplace. Just make it clear that smoking will not be tolerated at the workplace. It’s better for people’s health, and you’ll be amazed at how much more productive everybody gets when they’re not constantly taking cigarette breaks.

I like the idea of encouraging my staff to participate in 10K runs for charity as a way of getting them fit, and also making a contribution to the community at large.

I believe in giving people incentives to stay healthy. Encourage your staff to lose weight and stop smoking. It’ll pay in the long run with less absenteeism, more productivity.

One of the reasons that I offer incentives to my own staff to stop smoking is that it increases worker productivity. If you look at the numbers, it’s stunning how much work time smokers waste pursuing their filthy habit.
