How can All Work - No Play help your organisation?

“People are our most valuable asset” is a cliché that no member of any senior management team would disagree with. At All Work - No Play we believe that people are the key organisational resource; without them organisations would not exist or function.

If your business endorsed using All Work - No Play you would create:

     - an increased network - your employees would meet and form bonds with people they don’t regularly work with
    - the chance for your employees to lead a healthier lifestyle
    - the incentive for existing employees to stay with the organisation and achieve greatness
    - a company image that encourages the social side of the workplace

With All Work - No Play there is no exclusion. We believe group involvement in social and sporting activities should be inclusive and not dependent on whom you know or where you sit. This increased network will have a positive impact on the company’s overall productivity.

Many studies have found that physical exercise increases the quality of life¹, general mental heath², social functioning³ and physical well-being⁴. These lead to a healthier lifestyle and more importantly, impact on work ability.

About one-half of all employees own the tools of their trade – knowledge – which they can readily pack up and move from employer to employer. By committing to the social aspects of the psychological contract⁵ and providing the opportunity for employees to climb Maslow’s hierarchy of needs your business will reap the rewards from your employees⁶.

Prospective employees, especially young talent, are increasing concerned about the social side of a company and can feel isolated in the workplace. Having a company image that encourages the social side of the workplace will also have an impact on your customers.

All Work - No Play is a no-nonsense website developed with easy-to-use functionality to provide benefits to the user. Used effectively, All Work - No Play should save your employees time in organising social and sporting activities with colleagues. There are no ‘time-wasting’ elements on this site that are common to popular social networking sites.
