Lead him/her to exercise. Studies suggest that supervisors who were physically active were less stressed and more patient.? If the boss is fit, everybody?s happy.
That goes for employees, too.? Fortunately, the national spotlight is on fitness in the workplace, and there is real return for the company who invests in a fitness plan.
As businesses take a look at the fitness level of employees and put more emphases on prevention of illness, their goal is to not only improve American health (thereby reducing absenteeism and improving production) but also reduce their fiscal healthcare costs.? According to the May 2012 IDEA Fitness Journal, ?About 67% of the workforce is overweight or obese, and there has been a 36% hike in healthcare spending associated with obesity in recent years.? Inactivity is a leading contributor to the chronic diseases adding to an ever-growing burden of healthcare costs.?
How does the company benefit? These are bonus points:
- A culture of health is a hopeful place to work.
- Showing compassion for employees makes them feel they are people who contribute individually and have worth.
- The ability to provide exceptional benefits attracts the best employees.
- There is higher morale in the workplace, increasing employee satisfaction and job retention.?
- Productivity improves.
- The company is recognized as one of the healthiest in the community.
Do you know a company that could benefit from a wellness program?? Do you work with someone who could improve his/her desk-side manner?? Let me at them!? We are piloting a corporate wellness program, through which we intend to improve working environments by bringing fitness to the workplace in our community.
