4. Health and Safety
4.員工身體健康以及安全
American healthcare is notorious for being almost entirely treatment-oriented, rather than focused on preventing illness in the first place. Employers can avoid making the same mistake by providing a healthy workplace environment and teaching employees the essentials of fitness, nutrition and stress management. In addition to the obvious perks for workers, promoting health and safety will benefit the employer as well; healthy employees are less likely to miss work and have lower insurance costs.
美國醫療系統是出了名的只醫治已經生病的人而不知道防范于未然 。企業雇主卻能夠采取適當的措施避免這樣的結果發生 。作為企業領導,改善員工工作環境、教育員工如何保證身體健康、如何可注意營養、如何合理解壓都是保證員工工作質量的最重要環節 。這些健康福利在造福企業員工的同時也造福企業 。健康的員工更不容易在工作中犯錯,也為企業節省了保險費用 。
Make It Better: Workers ought to be able to rely on their employer to provide the information and resources necessary to engage in healthy lifestyle choices. Programs that promote weight loss, smoking cessation and stress management can be extremely helpful. Ideally, employers should also provide on-site or nearby access to a fitness facility.
如何做到更好:企業雇主應該為員工提供健康生活的相關信息和資源 。比如減肥、戒煙以及解壓等促進健康的相關項目 。如果條件允許,最好為員工提供一個在公司內部的或離工作單位很近的健身場所 。
