During the half of a century work experience as a corporate human resource (HR) management and development practitioner, I observed that employee “one-hour lunch break” plays an important role in preventing stress on employee at work in organization. Employee less lunch break times resulted with work stress in the organization. One-hour lunch break time plays an important role in positively impacting an employee's physical health. In the lunch time of employee can be body off from work to take the meal, nap and walk which can be a positive impact on employee's physical health at work. In most of occupational settings, work stress and sleepiness make worst motivation, mood, and job satisfaction that can lead to poor health outcomes and happiness.
I found that one-hour lunch break time plays an important role in managing employees' comfort ability-freedom in solving much personal work which can positively impact on the employees mental and emotional health at work. The “One hour breaks time” plays an important role in positively impacting the employees' performance. In this lunch break, employees doing a body off from work to get refreshment and physical-mental comfortability which positive impact on the employee physical-mental health including prevents employee fatigue at work thus he/she can be able to give better performance at work. So, in a nutshell, employees physical and psychological health, performance, and stress issue can be resolved with the help of one hour lunch break time.
One of the most important things any employee can do to boost their productivity at work is to take their full lunch break. Well, many people including my children too, neglect this important period and will either not eat lunch or will do so at their desk while working. Just as athletes affect their performance by eating the right things, concentration & productivity depends on what we eat & when we eat it. Our body is a machine that needs fuel for performance.
