Benefits of sport for business

Sport at work has a positive impact on the bottom line of companies as it makes people feel more
energetic and better about themselves.
However, the benefits are not only for the employees but also for the companies:
- Improve attraction and retention of talent
- Promote a healthy lifestyle and improved interpersonal relationships for employees.
- Reduced sick leave and absenteeism: employees who do sport feel better both physically and
emotionally which translates into less wear and tear in the office and therefore increase their
performance. This ultimately has an impact on the company's bottom line.
- It reinforces the company's brand as it makes it attractive to work for the company by showing its
concern for the well-being of its staff.
- If practised at work or among co-workers, it enhances personal relationships among employees, thus
facilitating teamwork and a good working environment and avoiding many conflicts.
- Some of the soft skills of employees are reinforced by practising a sport, such as patience, effort,
negotiation, and leadership skills.
