“Happy employees are productive employees.”

According to Forbes, happy employees are up to 20% more productive than their unhappy counterparts. As businesses increasingly recognize the importance of employee well-being, it’s clear that wellness programs are becoming a crucial part of corporate culture. Monaco is at the forefront of this trend, with companies integrating wellness programs to boost productivity, engagement, and overall job satisfaction.

The recent Monaco Business Expo showcased this shift in focus, with the Monaco Wellness System leading the charge. Founded five years ago, this innovative company offers two core programs: the “Zen” program, which promotes relaxation and gentle muscle strengthening, and the “Power” program, which combines physical conditioning with breathing techniques. These initiatives help employees not only maintain physical fitness but also manage stress, both crucial for long-term health and happiness.

What sets Monaco Wellness System apart is its emphasis on outdoor activities, with 80% of sessions held outside during lunch breaks or after work. Companies in Monaco are even adjusting work hours to accommodate these sessions, demonstrating the importance placed on employee health. Additional services, like stress-relieving “amma” massages, further enhance the wellness experience for employees.

Research underscores the importance of such programs. According to the World Health Organization, employees participating in regular physical activities can see up to a 10% increase in work performance. Benefits include improved focus, energy, and problem-solving skills, leading to a more dynamic and productive workforce.

As wellness programs continue to gain traction, Monaco is setting an example for businesses worldwide, proving that investing in employee well-being is not only good for morale but also a smart business strategy.
