Writer : Mas Muhammad Luqman Imam Al As'ari; Editor : Nada Mawaddah

Work-life Balance through Badminton "Mens Sana in Corpore Sano" is a Latin phrase that means " A healthy mind in a healthy body". This slogan motivates the employee of PT Biometrik Riset Indonesia to do sports activities in the middle of their work routine. “Friends who lose their life balance because of their busy work routines can try badminton. Badminton is an excellent activity to keep us active, have fun, and make our life full of energy,” said Oktaviani. The benefit of badminton is that it makes health better because the body will produce endorphins which are responsible for feeling happy after doing certain activities. Even, endorphins can also provide positive energy to a person. A good mood will increase the immune system which prevents all kinds of diseases, especially during busy work activities. Badminton improves our health so that work productivity in Biometrik will be better and more consistent. The purpose of doing badminton is for recreation, to increase focus, to improve agility, strategy, and speed. Besides that, badminton also makes our reflexes more sensitive, so our brain will respond quickly in any unexpected case. The benefits above can support and improve our work routines. Oktaviani added: “Badminton also increases teamwork and solidarity among employees. In the future Badminton will become a routine activity in Biometrik which is carried out every week to maintain a work-life balance.”
