What your business and your body have in common

With the New Year finally upon us, resolutions on health and taking care of our bodies are at the forefront of many of our minds. Have you joined the gym, started a detox cleanse, or vowed to walk to and from work every day yet?

Many of us are guilty of the ‘new year new me’ cliché, but had it ever occurred to you that taking care of your physical wellbeing can be quite similar to taking care of your business?

The digestive system absorbing revenue.

Our digestive system consists of a series of connected organs that together, allow the body to break down and absorb food. In return, the latter is used for energy, growth and cell repair. The stomach is where all your revenue is being held and where nutrients are properly shared.

When metabolic waste like expenses, cost and taxes are exhaled, you remain with the beneficial profit. Similarly, to stomach acids and enzymes, your financial administration should know how to break the food, in smaller departments that your body can use accordingly.

The employees, the backbone to your business.

You are as strong as your weakest link, or rather, employee.

This is something that a lot of enterprises don’t quite understand when it comes to effectively managing their human resources. Resembling the support that the skeletal system offers to our body, with its 206 bones, your employees are all linked to helping you move.  

Hiring the right workers, compensating them in a balanced way with a reasonable cost to your business, retaining them in a positive environment can impact your motion drastically.

However, understanding why your bones are aching or moving a certain way can be difficult so improving their performance and measuring it, can be a key instrument in further improving your business. Dataplayer’s features might be the right orthopaedic solution for you.

Breathe through your customers.

If you don’t have customers, you don’t have a business.

Without these so-called lungs, your body would literally shut down, and cause death to your cells (components) through the lack of oxygen. However, we know that the respiratory system needs constant care and protection from:

Air Pollution– This can be a financial epidemic happening in the outside environment, market shifts, or other factors compromising your business. Obviously, the lungs are affected, so your body needs to take measurements to prevent or minimise the negative consequences.

Cigarettes– Internal decision-making, negatively impacting your health.

Honourable mentions:

Your core values, actions, and impact, pumping blood through your company.

– You guessed it, this is a heart analogy. They all shape and reflect what your business manifests, yet all have sentimental importance as well.

The skin – Marketing and your performance.

This is our contact with the outside world, helping regulate body temperature and defending us from bacteria, or even worse, a bad brand image.

Reproductive system – Your newest technology tools.

Investing in advanced and intelligent software towards your business is essential in what your body will reproduce and harvest in a near future. Did previous generations need them to survive? No, yet without these organs, there wouldn’t be newer ones.

The pancreas and customer service, they can make or break you.

Aside from sharing a lack of information when it comes to how much people overlook their importance, they both play essential roles in delivering fuel for our bodies. While one is hormone-oriented in balancing blood sugar levels and helping in digesting food, the other makes you a customer-centric business.

The Brain – The executive You

As a command centre to every other system, the executive receives signals from the body’s sensory organs and reacts to all the other departments. Interpretation and agile responses towards these ‘alarms’, can mean saving your business at the right moment. Listen carefully to their needs.

Every single one of us should make the overall well-being of their bodies, and business, a priority. The existence in it shouldn’t be taken for granted, grasping the limit on where to push and pull is what makes brilliant machines work.  

Having the BIG picture and insights on how your business and its organs cooperatively work to accomplish a task, is part of what Dataplayer offers.
