As a CEO, Pat Perry writes that even though he believes “you cannot manage what you cannot measure,” ironically, “some of the business decisions we make that cannot be measured on the profit and loss statement provide the most impact to your business and your employees.”

His first example:

“Be well. Wellness and health education is not a fad. These programs work for your employees and your bottom line. It can be as simple as a walking program at lunch, healthy snacks at meetings, getting rid of the junk in your vending machines or offering occasional health tips. It does not need to be a full-blown program to be effective. Regardless of what you do, optional wellness programs for your staff are appreciated and utilized. The results can be impressive. And you might even save a life.”

“So consider doing a gut check on your next big decision. Sometimes you just have to trust that feeling inside. And if you have healthy, well-trained employees who trust their managers will give them the flexibility to put their loved ones first, how can you go wrong?”
