4. Health and Safety
4.员工身体健康以及安全
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.
美国医疗系统是出了名的只医治已经生病的人而不知道防范于未然 。企业雇主却能够采取适当的措施避免这样的结果发生 。作为企业领导,改善员工工作环境、教育员工如何保证身体健康、如何可注意营养、如何合理解压都是保证员工工作质量的最重要环节 。这些健康福利在造福企业员工的同时也造福企业 。健康的员工更不容易在工作中犯错,也为企业节省了保险费用 。
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:企业雇主应该为员工提供健康生活的相关信息和资源 。比如减肥、戒烟以及解压等促进健康的相关项目 。如果条件允许,最好为员工提供一个在公司内部的或离工作单位很近的健身场所 。
