“This year, I will hit the gym at least twice a week!” Was this you at the start of 2023?
As we welcome the new year with open arms, our focus naturally shifts to setting our goals and resolutions for the coming year. According to Forbes Health, there is an upsurge in commitment to improve fitness and physical health in 2024. Health and well-being take centre stage on many of our checklists as we contemplate and reorganise our priorities.
At Synapxe, we firmly believe that a healthy team will contribute to the vitality of the workplace. Hence, we engaged some Synapxians during their morning coffee, seeking insights into their new-year health resolutions. Read on for inspiration on setting healthy goals to kickstart the new year!
Commit to quality sleep
“Good sleep is the foundation of good health." Both Mayer, from the Backroom Ops team, and Seri, our systems analyst, spoke about prioritising sleep and ensuring that they receive an adequate amount of rest to be more energised throughout the day.
Prioritising mental health
Seri mentioned that she would love to travel more in the new year. Taking a break from the hustle and immersing oneself in a new environment or culture can alleviate stress. Travelling with friends or family also provides an opportunity to strengthen relationships.
At Synapxe, we empower employees to tailor their working schedules to promote work-life harmony and enhance mental wellbeing. An Employee Assistance Programme was also set up to provide confidential counselling helpline and support services for employees to navigate mental health and wellbeing challenges.
