Whether you are just starting out, or you are going strong and have a thousand people working for you, the principle remains the same. Discontent and unhealthy employees produce an inferior product, give poor service, and present a negative image that will cost your business. On the other hand, content and healthy employees will produce a quality product, give great service, and present a positive image which will prosper your business. Therefore, for your business to be at its best and most prosperous, create an environment where the people working within it, including yourself, can be content and healthy. We believe the way to create this environment is for you to truly care for your employees. We recognize that every workplace environment is unique, and therefore the specifics of caring for the employees within your environment will also be unique. With that said, we have identified five general principles that can be applied across the board.
A person’s life consists of far more than their employment. Five primary and general areas of life have been identified within which all of a person’s activities will fit. These are Spirit, Family, Health, Friends, and Employment and are defined and expounded on The Five Balls of Life page. We believe that the most important aspect of any individual being content and healthy is the ability to keep all of Life’s balls in proper balance. Every individual will have a different way of determining what balanced looks like in their own life. A wise employer will recognize this fact, work to keep their own life in balance, and allow space for their employees to do the same.
