A workplace wellness study shows that employees who follow a balanced diet are more productive than employees who don't. The 2008 Health & Productivity Index, released by ComPsych Corporation, shows 50 percent of employees who reported sticking to a balanced diet had a high level of energy, compared with only 5 percent of employees with unbalanced diets.
"Energy is a key factor in productivity," said Dr. Richard A. Chaifetz, chairman and CEO of ComPsych. "Lack of energy is also one of the most common health-related complaints we hear from employees. Given the connection between balanced diets and energy, organizations that promote healthy food – as part of a comprehensive wellness program – can expect to see payoff in terms of productivity and performance."
