How to end your challenging workday with more energy than you started with
summary
Company-wide vitality program addresses three “batteries” — physical, emotional, mental — after a survey shows 70% response, 1 in 5 at increased stress risk and 1 in 8 at burnout risk. Changes include sit-stand desks, a glass-roof office with fresh-air ventilation and mixed workspaces, a re-energize room and coaching. A voluntary rollout reaches ~75% participation, raises reported energy at work from 62% to 86%, and reduces sick leave for full participants from ~3% to below 1.5%.
