Good Mood Food
Imagine a workplace where employees were relaxed yet productive, where people arrived to work full of enthusiasm, ready to take on the challenges of the day. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, depression is the top cause of absenteeism in the US. One report states that 80% of workers feel stress on the job, nearly half say they need help in learning how to manage stress and 42% say their coworkers need such help. This affects performance, anxiety levels and morale.
