Keeping Your Crew at the Top of Their Game!

The Washington Business Group on Health found that obesity alone can cost companies $12 billion a year in direct medical costs, claims, lost productivity, absenteeism and higher health care premiums.

Benefits managers may think that lack of funds and lack of available space limit what they can offer their employees on-site. However, there are creative ways for promoting healthy behaviors at the worksite without having a complete fitness facility and a huge budget.

1. Encourage your employees and show them fitness can be fun. Use promotional marketing and advertising products to get everyone involved and continually reward employees.
Load it up. This duffle comes in tons of colors to help incorporate your companys identity.


Watch your step. Pedometers track distance, calories and time giving employees the information they need to stay fit.

Jot it down. A logoed journal can help to keep everyone on the right track.

Squeeze Relief. Brightly color stress balls can be printed with sports themes.



2. Invite local health professionals in to give “lunch and learn” talks.

3. Create a fit tips section on the company bulletin board or intranet to keep fitness at the top of everyones minds.
