This may sound like just a line, but investing in a water cooler can genuinely positively affect your bottom line; research has proven this.
The reason this is so is that dehydration can cause employees to get sick, which means that they will miss work, and this can adversely affect productivity.
Dehydration does not always make employees visibly ill though. When the human body does not get sufficient water on a regular basis, dehydrations sets in and can manifest in a number of ways:
- Fatigue – dehydration depletes one’s energy and therefore unable to work at one’s best;
- Headaches – dehydration can cause splitting headaches which will make employees unable to continue working, at least for a while until the headache subsides;
- Fuzziness and Cognitive Impairment – dehydration cause the brain to become fuzzy and unable to work optimally, making it nigh impossible for one to do complex calculations;
- Heart Problems – dehydration makes the blood thicker, which means that the heart must work harder to pump the blood through the body and this could cause heart problems;
- Kidney Problems – dehydration can also cause kidney stones due to minimal urination
It is vital that everyone drink water regularly throughout the day so that the blood is of the correct viscosity to be easily pumped throughout the body, delivering much-needed oxygen and nutrients to the cells and to ensure that waste products and toxins are flushed out of the body.
A well-dehydrated employee is healthier, get sick less often, has more energy, and is generally in a better mood. The human brain is around 90% water, so without sufficient water it cannot function at optimal capacity. In other words, a well-hydrated employee will work more, better and for longer, which will definitely affect your bottom line.
