Unlocking Productivity: The Hidden Power of EMBRACE in the Workplace
Body dissatisfaction has a significant yet overlooked impact on employee wellbeing and organizational performance. In the US alone, body dissatisfaction costs businesses $69 billion dollars in productivity losses. Body image doesn’t just affect the bottom line, it impacts our wellbeing too. We also know that 60-70% of adults are dissatisfied with their appearance- and when people don’t like how they look, it makes them more than 24 times more likely to develop depression.
Imagine the collective productivity your organisation could harness if your people stopped spending so much time wishing that their bodies were different and focused on helping others, solving problems and kicking goals at work.It’s not something that people often think about and talk about in the US, but body image is a barrier to Women in Leadership, and a barrier to achieving gender equality.
