Are we in a HEAT WAVE OR WHAT?

Did you ever think that a Heat Wave could affect more than just your electric bills?

So, how does a heat wave affect the economy? According to futureearth.org the economic impacts of a Heat Wave shows that multiple areas of the economic sector experience reduced worker productivity during heatwaves, especially agriculture and construction. Globally, 2% of total working hours is projected to be lost every year, either because it is too hot to work or because workers have to work at a slower pace.

Although you might provide air conditioning, you may want to invest in an ice cream party (which could be a tax write off) for your employees or possibly an additional break time for your employees to go to the local pool! Your employees are what keeps your business going, so during these times of unknown weather conditions that you cannot change, just be nice. Start your day with your employees coming together and listening to this song…a dance break might be just what they need to keep working at a rapid pace!!
