As this year comes to a close, many of us are starting to think about lifestyle changes we can make to help us feel stronger, connect more meaningfully, and work smarter. Because many of the New Year’s resolutions all of us aspire to achieve are traditionally in the domains of work and social relationships, partnering with a PEO can be an unexpected asset in changing our lives for the better. Here’s how:
4 Reasons a PEO Can Help You Achieve Your New Year’s Resolutions
We’ve reached that time of the year again: the season for introspection and reevaluating our life choices. Here’s how working with PEO can bring you closer to achieving your goals for next year.
Continue to grow and learn new skills as a team
Just because you’re killing it at work or graduated with an advanced degree doesn’t mean that you should ever stop learning. In fact, professional development is closely linked to long-term career fulfillment and workplace morale. Actively pursuing growth opportunities for you and your teammates not only ensures that your skills stay relevant, it can also give you more confidence. A PEO can help you pursue this goal.
Show gratitude to those who make your business stronger
More happiness, better health, deeper relationships, increased productivity — things everyone would like a little more of. Leading psychologists claim that these benefits grow from us practicing gratitude, largely because it can neutralize negative emotions such as bitterness, envy, and resentment. Sounds promising, right? Take a step in the right direction by showing your gratitude through world-class employee benefits. The resulting product would be building a more unified, inspired and collaborative workforce.
Get healthier and commit to setting a daily cutoff time
Many of the well-intentioned people who list getting healthier as a New Year’s resolutions, stumble somewhere along the way. We’ve all been there — self-discipline can be a difficult virtue to harness. Like Charles Duhigg mentions in his New York Times Best Selling book The Power of Habit, willpower is a muscle that develops through routine. When your company enforces daily cutoff times and encourages attendance to fitness-related activities, you can help your team develop habits that propel their wellbeing.
Revive old projects you’ve placed on the back burner
Having deadlines and quarterly goals to meet often translates into having to postpone a passion project. Do you have a stack of unfinished outlines and scribbled ideas you would like to revisit? One of the benefits of delegating tedious and time-consuming paperwork to a PEO is freeing up time to let your creativity run wild. Chances are, you’ve got at least one plausible project waiting to see the light of day.
