4 Ways That Regular Holidays Will Help You Stay Healthy

When summer is just around the corner, most people’s thoughts turn to holiday and travel plans. As a rule, people, and health practitioners, will agree that taking a break from your normal routine and circumstances is beneficial to both your health and well-being. There are a number of reasons why holidays are considered to be good for your health, and this article explores five reasons that will undoubtedly resonate with most people.

Lower Stress By Getting Away From It All

There are times when we all feel worn down by daily circumstances. While you may not be able to name anything in particular, ordinary life can start to become a burden. If you are feeling a little suffocated by the daily grind then you may find that getting away from it all, even for a few days, will put your life back in perspective.

Visiting somewhere new or a favourite old haunt can brighten a person’s general outlook. Travelling to a place where you are not expected to be ‘on’ 24 hours a day can lessen anxiety and increase your enjoyment of the little things in life. If work or family pressures are grinding you down, then a break may be all you need to put things right again.

Boost Your Wellbeing With Some Rest And Relaxation

It doesn’t matter how often we promise ourselves that we’re going to relax more or get more rest, the truth is that we get so caught up in our daily routines that this becomes difficult. A holiday, whether at home or abroad, will relieve you of a number of responsibilities even if it’s only for a short while.

Getting a week or two of time to yourself in a place where you can relax and watch the world go by can put a different slant on things. When you’ve had time to relax you are more likely to get some proper rest, which means that you can go back home ready to face things with greater optimism.

Visiting Somewhere New Can Brighten Your Mood

If you can afford a holiday abroad then you may find that being somewhere new and different is revitalising. When you feel properly rested and interested in new experiences and new places, it can help you put a brighter perspective on the ordinary, everyday things that we so often take for granted. We all need to experience something different, if only to properly appreciate what we already have.

Quality Time With Loved Ones Will Help You Reconnect

Work and routine often mean that we don’t take the time to appreciate those closest to us. Taking your partner, and perhaps children away for a while, gives all of you time to reconnect and enjoy each other’s company.

The Benefits Of Team Building Activities For Corporate

Over the few years there’s been a sea of change, with businesses moving away from competitive work environments to workplaces where collaboration and co-operation between staff is seen as the key to success.

As part of this change more and more companies are undertaking regular team building activities from top company. These activities can range from a short, problem-solving activity to a retreat lasting a couple of days. And whilst some people see team building activities as a ‘nice break’ from work, they do have a serious purpose: and that is to develop the skills and knowledge of your staff.

If you can organise team building activities that have a purpose and objectives behind the planning then your organisation can reap a range of benefits:

Improve productivity

Improving productivity is one of the most common goals of team building activities. Take the opportunity to identify ways to improve the three Ps (policies, processes and procedures) that can affect productivity. By encouraging employees to learn to work together more effectively and reduce duplication of effort your employees can work more efficiently.

Increase motivation

Team building activities can help increase employee motivation in a number of ways. When a group of employees successfully complete a team building activity it creates momentum and makes them feel good about themselves, it increases employees’ confidence in their, and their team’s, ability and it also shows employees that the organisation is willing to invest in them.

Increased collaboration

One of the most important benefits of a properly planned team building activity is greater collaboration between employees. Collaboration is about knowing who has what knowledge (or can answer to a question), trusting them and their experience and being able to get access to that person when you need it. By creating activities that people enjoy and can experience as a group, employees can build relationships and develop networks of contacts outside their day-to-day role that will help them in the future.

Encourage creativity

To have a successful business based on creativity and innovation you need to employ different people with diverse perspectives and expertise in order to “cross-pollinate” the organisation with fresh ideas. Out-of-the-ordinary team building tasks give employees permission to use their imagination to come up with creative solutions, and they send the message that creativity in the workplace, and bouncing ideas off each other, is welcome.

Positive reinforcement

Team building activities can also be used to provide recognition to employees by highlighting the work specific employees are doing and the behaviours that have lead to the recipient receiving the recognition. By incorporating recognition into the team building you can send a strong message to every attendee about your company values and what that means to the success of the organisation.

Team-building activities can be a powerful way to develop collaboration and trust, improve motivation, nurture strengths, and address weaknesses. However, they need to be have a real purpose and be properly planned in order to make a genuine impact, rather than just providing ‘a nice day out of the office’.
