Be Flexy and MOVE: Good Info for Happy Work?

Get Flexy and Keep it Movin'  to Be Happy in the Workplace. Is this what the author Katheryn Schrieber means?  Man, we got to get going at Be Kind.  We are rubbing elbows with Sean T and his Insanity workout...but we got to diversify, obviously.

Schrieber Advises:


Give a new image of flexibility--looks painful.


Get flexy. Less rigid work schedules help retain team members — especially folks who prefer to hold down a job and have adequate time to spend with family. Workers who can produce on their own clocks and outside the office also tend to be more efficient and call in sick less often than their office-bound counterparts. (Plus people whose day jobs don’t jibe well with their home lives are three times as likely to quit.)








Movin in Slow Mo Takes Control...

 Here's some impressive  Youtube "Movin" by Marquese to the tune of Adele (Marquese became a writing warm up bell ringer to get my morning writing students energized or awake). This is worth the advertisement you might have to endure. My ad was for a commercial liquid soap--not mine.)

Scheiber advises:

Keep it movin’. Employees who fill their morning routines, lunch breaks, or happy hours with physical activity tend to be more engaged and energetic on the job than those who stay glued to their chairs. Getting a move on throughout the workday improves overall cardiovascular health, provides a healthy distraction from stressful office situations, and can even enhance workers’ capacity to tolerate physiological stress. Company gym membership, anyone?
