Affect of Wellness on Performance Excellence

Achieving performance excellence requires employees to be focused on and physically able to perform. The wellness of an employee is a factor in this performance in both the physical well being and psychological well being. It is not enough for someone to be physically able to perform they must also be mentally free of distractions and focused on the task at hand. Wellness is essential for the success of an organization. Many organizations have gone to changing out vending machines with more health conscious food with the intention of affecting the wellness of their employees. In the same context organizations have developed fitness programs that they encourage their staff to participate in for their physical well being. The psychological aspect of the organization is monitored through peer evaluations and counseling services.

One of the best examples of this balance is with athletes. You can have the most physically gifted athlete but if their mind is not clear they will not be achieve to achieve the excellence they seek. Distractions such as family issues, injury concerns, and external factors can all be facets of psychological wellness that may affect performance excellence.
