 | | How to Take Better Breaks at Work, According to Research | | Taking periodic work breaks throughout the day can boost well-being and performance, but far too few of us take them regularly — or take the most effective types. A systematic review of more than 80 studies on break-taking outlines some best practices for making the most of time away from our tasks, including where, when, and how. | | | | | | |  | | To Improve Your Work Performance, Get Some Exercise | | Although the benefits of physical activity on general well-being are widely acknowledged, there has been a lack of research on how it impacts outcomes at work, including job performance and health. A study of 200 employees in the UK and the U.S in which the authors captured self-reported and objective physical activity data, as well as self- and supervisor-reported work outcomes uncovered some noteworthy findings about daily physical activity that impact employees and organizations, as well as a few research-backed ways to reap the many benefits of increasing your physical activity. | | | | | | |  | | Research: The Flexibility Options Your On-Site Employees Want | | Gallup surveyed more than 5,700 U.S. workers in industries such as manufacturing, transportation, health care, education, and service to understand which flexibility options their employers were offering and which flexibility options would entice them to switch jobs. The most commonly offered options were not the ones that employees most valued. | | | | | | |  | | Has Cynicism Infected Your Organization? | | Cynicism is dangerous to both individual and organizational health and can spread rapidly throughout teams through a phenomenon known as "emotional contagion." It's possible to improve even deep-seated cynicism—and better yet, to prevent it from infecting your organization in the first place. Here are some strategies to help reverse existing cynicism and to create an anti-cynical culture at work. | | | | | | |  | | When Great Minds Don't Think Alike | | As organizations strive to make their workforces more diverse with respect to race, gender equity, and people with disabilities, leaders need to apply these same strategies to employees with different kinds of minds. The author, who has more than 50 years of experience in industry and academia, explains how she processes information as a visual thinker and shares how business leaders can harness the power of different kinds of thinkers. | | | | | | | | |
