Reduce Stress and Burnout
Overwork can lead to stress and depression. But even short breaks can reduce feelings of stress, restore emotional health, and increase feelings of well-being.
Help Employees Stay Sharp
The brain isn’t wired to maintain high-level performance for several hours. To do our best work, we all need time to rest and replenish our mental and physical energy.
Breaks are the unparalleled way to boost cognitive performance: Memory, learning, and creativity are improved after short breaks—and decision fatigue and procrastination are reduced.
Spark Engagement and Connection
Employees with high well-being feel supported and appreciated at work, have meaningful connections with their peers and leaders, and feel a strong sense of purpose—97% of Bright Breaks users report an overall improvement in their well-being!
Sustain Physical Health and Prevent Illness
Periodically standing, stretching, walking, or exercising throughout the workday can minimize or prevent physical ailments—and reduce the risk of more serious chronic illnesses. It’s a win for your employees and a win for your healthcare and insurance expenses.
How Breaks Boost Company Performance
breaks don’t stop with individual employees—the gains compound when looking at
team and company performance.
Breaks Increase Productivity
Taking a break from mentally demanding tasks to engage in physical activity or relaxation exercises restores energy and decreases fatigue.
In fact, studies find that 10% of the highest workplace performers take more breaks than their peers. Refreshing their cognitive and physical energy stores helps them maintain those high performance levels.
Breaks Improve Retention
97% of employees who use Bright Breaks reported an increase in well-being.
It’s been reported that employers who offer the most wellness practices experience 11% less turnover than employers with fewer options. And the performance of employees who report high well-being and job satisfaction can be correlated to decreased turnover, as well as higher productivity and profitability.
