THE PROBLEM
Unproductive Employees Increased Absenteeism Increased Time Spent
Working: Office & Home Sedentary Lifestyles Increased Turnovers Increased Production Costs Unhappy Environment
WHILE REDUCING YOUR BOTTOM LINE!
THE PROBLEM Rising Employee Expenses are Directly &
Indirectly Related to: Excessive Multitasking, Unfocused Attention
& STRESSExpectation of 40+ Hours of Work Every WeekPOOR NUTRITIONSedentary LifestylePoor Work Life BalanceLACK of Education, Coaching, COMMUNICATIONSICKNESS Related to Stress, Preventable
Diseases, Smoking
TIME SPENT: THE AVERAGE CANADIANCalculations To Consider: There are: 365 days, 8760 hrs, & 52 weeks in a Year
The Average Canadian: 2 Weeks Vacation & 9 days of Statutory Holidays Per Year
52 weeks/year – 3.3 weeks vacation = 48.7 weeks/year working Sleeps 6.9 hrs/night (CBC Article)
365 x 6.9 = 2,518.5 hrs sleeping (29% of the year) Works 40hrs/week, 48.7 weeks/year
= 1,948 hours working (22% of the year) Commutes = 25.5 min/Trip = 51min-1HR (Stats Can.)
5 days/week x 48.7 weeks/yr = 243.5 days/hours/year commuting (3%) Spends 1 Hour Getting Ready for Work
See Equation Above = 234.5 Hrs/year Getting Ready to Work (3%)
Thus, > 1/2 of the Average Canadian’s Year, 57%, is Spent Sleeping and Working
THE PROBLEM: HEALTH TRENDSOver the last 20 years ...
HEALTH ISSUES & DISEASES ARE ON THE RISE
Between 1994 - 2005, according to Benefits Canada, the rates of Arterial Hypertension among Canadians increased by 77%,Diabetes by 45%,Obesity by 18%... affecting people of every ageHypertension rates among people aged 35 to 49 rose 127%
Since 2005, rates of the same diseases are steadily increasing, sometimes doubling
THE PROBLEM: HEALTH TRENDS
Wellergize states: 60% spend their entire workday seated, & 56%
are classified as “physically inactive”
THE HUMAN BODY WAS NOT DEIGNED
TO SIT ALL DAY LONG
36% are overweight & 23% are obese 66% report high stress on their jobs 21% are daily or regular smokers
THE PROBLEM: HEALTH TRENDS 2012 National Study:
Balancing Work & Care Giving in Canadaby Professors Linda Duxbury, Carleton University, & Christopher Higgins, University of Western Ontario:
Almost 2/3 of Canadians are working > 45 hours a week 50 % more than two decades ago
Work weeks are more rigid flex-time arrangements dropping by 1/3 in the past 10 years
Only 23% of working Canadians are highly satisfied with life. That’s 1/2 as many as in 1991
> 1/2 of the survey’s respondents took work home, averaging to 7 extra hrs/week of work
Nearly 2/3 spent more than 1 hr/day catching up on e-mails; 1/3 spent more than 1 hr/day off e-mailing for work
1/3 of participants are overloaded with work & family responsibilities resulting in lost sleep dramatically reducing energy levels
NO WONDER WE FEEL LIKE THIS
TIME SPENT: ADJUSTED Earlier We Calculated
Average Canadian Spends 57% of their week either sleeping, working, or getting ready to work
Now Let’s Include the Extra Hours Working & Emailing If the Average Canadian Spends 40 Hrs Working + Takes Home an Average
of 7 hours of Work + Does an Additional 2 HRS of Correspondence/Week We Can Say That, on Average, Canadians work 49 Hrs/Week
49 Hrs x 48.7 Weeks = 2,386.3 Hrs/Year Working Thus, Canadians Spend
27% Of The Year Actually Working 3% Getting Ready To Work 3% Commuting To Work = 33% Of Their Time On Work Related Activities + 29% Sleeping = 62% Of Their Time Accounted For
This is Just Your Average Canadian. Many Corporate Executives and Employees Work More than the Average
TO WORK OR NOT TO WORK: THINKING LIKE AN EMPLOYEE
Most people want to work Keeps them busy Contributing to something
Everyone wants to feel valued
So much of you life is spent at work, shouldn’t the place you spend most of your time contribute to, & care about, your Health & Wellness
Wouldn’t you want to work smarter for a company that is working harder for you?
It’s A Win Win Situation

THE LINK BETWEEN HEALTH & CAPITAL
2011/2012 Survey by Towers & Watson
STRONG LINK BETWEEN highly effective Health & Productivity Strategies, & strong human Capital/Financial Results
High-Effect iveness Companies across North America Report Better Business Outcomes, including:
Market premiums are 18 percentage points higher than low-effectiveness companies
Industry adjusted average revenues per employee are 40% higher than low-effectiveness companies, a difference of $132,000 per employee
THE LINK BETWEEN HEALTH & CAPITAL
Successful Strategies Give H I G H E F F E C T I V E N E S S C O M PA N I E S More Significant Advantages:
Report Better Workforce Outcomes & Lower Productivity Costs:
A differential in annual health care costs > $550/employee giving a company with 20,000 Canada-based employees an $11 million annual cost
advantage over low effectiveness companies
Health care cost trends > 1% lower than trends experienced by other companies
Fewer lost days due to unplanned absences and disability
Reductions in some health risks for individual employees
Lower average turnover rates of 8% instead of 10.4%

is a Major Contrib-utor to
Increases in Health & Productions Costs
JOB STRESS ANALYSIS From the previous slide we can see that
From 2009 – 2011 STRESS INCREASED Mostly Due To:
Excessive Workload Lack of Work Life Balance Unclear Job Expectations Inadequate Staffing Availability After Work Hours Lack of Supervisor Support
Only Reduction = Fear About Job Loss
Therefore, We Know That The Market Has Mostly Stabilized & Fears Involving Job Security, Pay, & Benefits Are Minor
BUTDue To Policies Implemented During The Financial Crisis,
Employees Now Feel Overworked, Overstressed, & Unsupported
WHY THE TURNOVER?
TLNT, A Community Of HR, Reports:
74% Of Workers Are Passive Job Seekers, Ready To Bolt At The First Sign Of A New & Better Opportunity. Why?
Possibly For Higher Pay Flexible Work Hours
But... Probably Because They Feel They Will Be More Valued
In today’s competitive markets, Employers Must Find New Ways To Recruit & Retain The Exceptional talent.
Suggestion: Create A Corporate Culture promoting: Va l u e , H e a l t h , Po s i t i v i t y, & A c t i v i t y
THE PROBLEM: HEALTH TRENDS
The Global Business & Economic Round Table:
An estimate of 7.5 million Canadians Each & Every Year Suffer from depression, anxiety, substance abuse or another Mental Disorder
The Cost to the Canadian economy from workplace stress, depression & mental illness Is 35 Million Lost Workdays & an estimated $35 B i l l i on In Lost Product iv i ty Annual ly
IT’S JUST TOO MUCH TO HANDLE WITHOUT SUPPORT,

WHY DO WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT STRESS?
STRESS: THE KILLER DISEASE PSYCHOLOGY TODAY
Stress - a reaction to stimulus that disturbs physical or mental equilibrium. It triggers the “fight-or-flight” response, causing adrenaline & cortisol to surge through the body.
Acute Stress Can Be Good Keeps us Active & Alert Gives us a COMPETITIVE EDGE in Business & Life
Chronic Stress Can Have Ser ious Detr imental Effects On Health
Important to learn how to control reactions to stressors & inhibit effects
STRESS: THE KILLER DISEASE PSYCHOLOGY TODAY
Hormones, Chemicals & How they Kill
Stress Hormones, adrenaline & cortisol, become Imbalanced causing chronic activation , Damaging Our Brains & Vasculature Systems
Inflammatory cytokines - chemicals released by the immune system activating cells to attack invaders, such as viruses, pathogenic bacteria, or cancer
Immune System - over-activated leading to autoimmune disease
Modern Chronic Disease are associated with elevations in cytokines. These chemicals linger & are difficult to eradicate & treat
Linked to Harmful Behaviours (substance abuse, smoking,
overeating) in an attempt to numb stress effects, increasing cytokines
STRESS: THE KILLER DISEASE CORTISOL, THE MAIN INGREDIENT
C O RT I S O L – is a hormone released by the adrenal glands as part of the FIGHT-OR-FLIGHT mechanism
This mechanism is part of the ‘General Adaptation Syndrome’ defined in 1936 by Canadian biochemist Hans Selye of McGill University. In his publication, Nature, he defined 2 types of "stress":
E u s t r e s s ( g o o d s t r e s s ) D i s t r e s s ( b a d s t r e s s )
Both release cortisol. Once alarm in your brain sends the signal, your adrenal glands release
cortisol & your body becomes mobilized, ready for action But there Has To Be A Physical Release, either fight or
flight. OTHERWISE, CORTISOL LEVELS BUILD UP in the blood wreaking havoc on your Mind & Body.
Psycolgy Today Cortisol: Why “The Stress Hormone” Is Public Enemy No. 1
STRESS: THE KILLER DISEASE CORTISOL’S NEGATIVE EFFECTS
Decreases Immunity Cortisol is a corticosteroid, like prednisone, cortisone, &
beclomethasone. It inhibits the actions of white blood cells. Leading to increased susceptibility to infections & stretches of
time without colds because of the weakened immune system Breaks Down Muscle, Bone, & Connective
Tissue In Order To Increase Blood Sugar For The Brain Because It Is A Gluconeogenic Hormone. Gluconeogenesis - a process that creates sugar from existing
tissue. Inhibits Thyroid Hormone Activation & Thus
Creates A Form Of Hypothyroidism The thyroid gland makes 2 major hormones; thyroxine (T4) and
triiodothyroine (T3). It predominantly makes T4, which is actually an in-active hormone. T4 is carried in the bloodstream & eventually hits a receptor on or in a cell & becomes activated, to a T3.
STRESS: THE KILLER DISEASE CORTISOL’S NEGATIVE EFFECTS
Increases Abdominal Fat Deposition High levels of cortisol cause the body to lay down adipose tissue in the
abdomen, upper back/neck. & is almost impossible to lose without addressing stress.
Especially in
Women
THE STRESS PANDEMIC PSYCHOLOGY TODAY
Only When Symptoms Arise Do We Recognize Stress As The Culprit
Stress Can Lead To:
Mental Disorders: Eating, Anxiety, Bi Polar, Breakdowns, Depression Heart Disease/Cardiac Arrest/Stroke Insomnia Increased Blood Pressure Diabetes Suppressed Immune System, Autoimmune Diseases Impaired Fertility Accelerated Aging Chronic Headaches Weight Gain Weight Loss
THE STRESS PANDEMIC PSYCHOLOGY TODAY The WHO reports,
Based on estimates in 2008, that Lifestyle Diseases Now Account For 63 % Of Global Deaths
The National Institute of Mental Health has estimated that 26.2 % Of Americans, 18 +, Suffer From a Diagnosable Mental Disorder in any given year
Given these statistics, it is PARAMOUNT for us TO RECOGNIZE & VALUE the increasing importance of MIND/BODY Wellness.
Prevention Is Preferable To Recovery

L E I S U R E Let ’ s Ta lk About I t
LEISURE: A DEFINITION Alison Link, owner & consultant of Leisure Link, said, in her interview with the New York Times in 2008:
“Leisure has many different definitions — some involving time, some relating to an activity being done, some relating to state of mind....
Leisure can happen when we are in various states: artistic or creative, physical, intellectual, social, spiritual, learning new things, volunteering, active... One can be emotionally
connected and engaged or not. And we can even have leisure at work and be more productive, healthy and creative.”
PERSONAL TIME & DEVELOPMENT Aiding Employees in Establishing Satisfaction in Leisure Activities, & Achieving a Good Work Life Balance, Can Increase:
Enjoyment of Work Job Satisfaction, Health Productivity Quality of Work Accomplished Confidence on the Job Loyalty
IMPORTANCE OF LEISURE TIME
Not To Mention:
Healthier Workers Spend More Time On The Job Are Happier & More Productive
