The Small and Medium Enterprises Association of Malaysia and the Malaysian Employers Federation said employers should help to keep their staff fit as numerous studies have indicated that a healthy workplace tends to be more productive.According to a recent survey by the health ministry, more than half of Malaysians are overweight or obese, with the majority living an unhealthy lifestyle.
“There are free apps to help track employees’ movement and activity. This can be used to then reward and recognise employees who are most active,” he said.“It would be helpful if companies could encourage their employees to eat healthily. One way to do so is to provide healthy lunches or vouchers so employees get to try out and understand the benefits of healthier meals.
He said that introducing short breaks at work while sitting and standing would ease and improve body posture and will benefit employees in the long run.
