McDonald’s has been offering its employees tips for how to stay well while working at the global company.
The website where the tips are, called McResources, isn’t accessible unless you’re an employee, but an outside group has put together a couple of videos about the tips.
The first part of one of the videos shows a section called stress management. One of the tips there tells employees to “pack your bags,” because “at least two vacations a year can cut heart attack risk by 50 percent.”
The organization that compiled the video notes that “two JOBS not two VACATIONS is more like it for most McDonald’s employees.”
Moving on, the video shows another part about “avoiding the seven ‘deadly sins.’”
A tip to employees tells them to “sing away stress.”
“Singing along to your favorite songs can lower your blood pressure,” it says.
Next is a part called “at your service,” which is a sort of catalogue page that has a range of categories on it. One of the tips is called “break it up.”
“Breaking food into pieces often results in eating less and still feeling full,” the video notes.
Check out the rest of the video below.
McDonald’s responded with a statement to NBC.
“This is an attempt by an outside organization to undermine a well-intended employee assistance resource website by taking isolated portions out of context,” it said.
“The McResource website has helped countless employees by providing them with a variety of information and resources on topics ranging from health and wellness to stress and financial management. The website also includes some rotating “quick tips” and while we recognize that some of these could be taken out of context, the vast majority of the resources and information on the site are based on credible outside experts and well-published advice.”
The group LowPay Notok also shared another site from McDonald’s that aims to help its employees budget their money.
