The issue of employee productivity has become a major concern for companies. Inefficiency can occur at every stage of production either as poor design, worker limitation, or other factors. It is generally assumed that a healthy worker is more productive than an unhealthy worker. As early as 1776 Adam Smith observed and published in The Wealth of Nations that poor worker health was a detriment to industrial productivity. The objective of this article is to review the literature documenting the gain or loss of productivity related to the health of workers, as well as any lifestyle management strategies that can be used to improve employee health and productivity. The impact of employee obesity, smoking, physical activity, sleep, and behavioral health on productivity will be explored. By identifying and addressing health risks that impair worker performance, lifestyle medicine professionals can demonstrate a significant return on investment by creating a healthier and more productive work force.
员工生产力问题已成为公司的主要关注点。生产的每个阶段都可能出现效率低下的情况，原因包括设计不佳、工人能力限制或其他因素。一般认为，健康的工人比不健康的工人生产力更高。早在1776年，亚当·斯密就在《国富论》中指出并发表观点，认为工人健康状况不佳会损害工业生产力。本文的目的是回顾相关文献，这些文献记录了与工人健康相关的生产力的增减情况，以及任何可用于改善员工健康和生产力的生活方式管理策略。将探讨员工肥胖、吸烟、体育活动、睡眠和行为健康对生产力的影响。通过识别和解决损害员工绩效的健康风险，生活方式医学专业人员可以通过打造更健康、生产力更高的劳动力队伍，证明投资回报率显著。
