How do corporate fitness programs work?
How corporate fitness programs work
Office culture often leaves people sitting in front of computers for hours at a time. Unlike labor-intensive jobs where you’re using your body to get the job done, sitting all day can often take its toll on a person’s body. With the movement towards healthy living, it is important to incorporate health and wellness into the workplace.
At E3 Consulting, we have a thorough understanding of how to provide individualized fitness programs for employees while also making them feel like a part of a group working towards self-improvement. It’s understood that everyone has their preferences on how and where they like to workout, plus everyone has their own fitness goals. So, we keep that in mind when creating customized programs for every client.
For instance, if a client has employees who are required to be on their phones for customer service reasons, suggesting a step counter and daily walks would not be the best direction. We take every role and its job responsibilities into consideration when creating our programs, and offer online tutorials so people can take their fitness home with them after work hours.
Our corporate fitness consulting services
Promoting fitness is a great way to create positive energy in the workplace while also investing in the health and wellbeing of the people who work there. Some program benefits include:
- Allowing users to access online video demonstration of various exercises
- Create an individualized fitness plan with realistic goals and outcomes for users
- Provide individual and group educating fitness training
- Creating new and fun ways to incorporate fitness into company culture
- Create an incentive plan to encourage users to want to participate in fitness
The goal is to use fitness as an avenue of change for the long-term physical and mental wellbeing of everyone in the office. Rank and seniority are removed and we look to everyone to try and make even the slightest of changes to improve their health. Small improvements in a team of individuals can create massive change for a company. A healthier team creates better products and services, while improving creativity and productivity.
Benefits of corporate fitness programs
There are many benefits to corporate fitness that go beyond the overall health of the individual participating in the programs. Some benefits that employers can expect to see once a program is implemented include:
- Less absenteeism
- Better morale
- More productivity
- Less overall stress
- Lowered healthcare coverage costs
- Fostering teamwork
- Attract and retain top-tier talent
Really, it’s a win-win for the people participating in the program and those who are paying to offer it to them. One day we hope to see fitness ingrained into everyone’s daily work routine, but until then we are here to get businesses on track to their fitness goals.
