Corporate Health and Wellness Programs: Gold’s Gym Employee Wellness

December 19th, 2008 · 8:23 am @ admin  -  No Comments

Workers breathe life and value into your business. Within the modern worksite there are increasing instances of stress, anxiety, obesity, depression, and heart disease. The modern worksite has become increasingly physical fitness-free.

Technological advances have lessened the need to “walk” at work. Moving a mouse has the same level of physical exertion as pressing the buttons on a remote control. Emails, the fax, and the internet have meant that it is possible to run a business without having to leave the chair. The “advances” affect physical and mental health in a disastrous manner ultimately affecting your business’s profit.

A sedentary lifestyle is a recipe for disaster – heart disease, chronic back pain, repetitive stress disorder, and low employee self-esteem are symptomatic of a work environment in which the only physical fitness available is surfing the net. Company morale will invariably suffer if an physical fitness policy is not endorsed and put in place.

Regular physical fitness can significantly improve worksite health. Instances of absenteeism and staff turnover, low staff morale and decreased productivity can be alleviated with a Corporate Health and Wellness Program that energizes and motivates tired staff members. Boredom, repetitive motion injuries and worksite fatigue can only be combated with physical and mental stimulation.

Studies show, staff members who are physically active on a regular basis record less sick days each year and are more energetic, dynamic, and industrious. Investing in the health of your staff pays dividends through increased productivity and goodwill. Physically active staff members are happy staff members.

However, the problem with corporate fitness facilities is that staff members spend one quarter of their lives at work and typically are not motivated enough to come in early or stay late to do an exercise program.
