Corporate health big bang

 


 THE PROBLEM

How to enrol your staff in and ongoing corporate health, fitness and wellbeing program.

 

THE SOLUTION

 

There's a fine line between not doing anything and forcing the issue to the point where you put people offside.

 

Whilst the benefits of worksite wellness programs for both individuals and organisations are as well known as they are compelling, a lot of people may be reluctant to become involved because they don't know what they're letting themselves in for.

 

The conundrum is that they won't know what it is until they've done it.

 

To break the impasse my recommendation is for managers to take their staff out for the day and immerse them in the health, fitness and wellbeing culture. For people who are already fit and healthy the benefits of their health sustaining behaviours will be confirmed.

 

For people who are not fit and healthy there's a high likelihood the penny will drop. They'll come away with an understanding of why their health is not as good as they'd like it to be and some simple solutions to improve it.

 

The Seven Habits

of Fit and Healthy People

 

 

The program I have for you is the one day Seven Habits of Fit and Healthy People.

 

In a nutshell, it's a modest investment aimed at kick starting a regular and systematic corporate health program. Done properly it will realize a huge return in reduced  costs of absenteeism, presenteeism, workers compensation and employee turnover.

 

And it stands to reason. You want a staff that's fit and healthy; you want high level morale; you want teamwork and group cohesion.

 

You can read all about the Seven Habits program in the box below.

 

As well as firing your staff up, I present you with an audit report on the health, fitness and wellbeing of your staff, together with recommendations about how to improve it.

 

I love running the Seven Habits of Fit and Healthy People seminar. It's the best program I run. It's all my seminars rolled in to one.

 

Staff love it.
