U.S. corporations are shifting priorities to value their best asset -- the employees. Providing fitness programs to their workforce is proving to be a confident return on investment for companies struggling to reduce healthcare costs.
Auburn, CA (PRWEB) June 22, 2004 – Corporate fitness programs are currently winning ROI results for companies across the U.S.. Fitness and wellness programs are revealing a beefy 150-800% ROI from supplying employees sound management support and progressive information on improved nutrition and moderate exercise programs. More executives are implementing fitness programs with the goals of lowering healthcare costs and reducing controllable healthcare issues.
Positive returns on investment have been documented by such companies as Steelcase Corp., Dupont, Superior Coffee and Foods, Travelers Corp., and many more.
"Employers deserve a healthier workforce and employees are exhibiting a clear enthusiasm for consistent health guidance and support they often do not receive at home," says Gwenn Jones, partner and fitness trainer for Bay Bridge Fitness. "Inserting a 30-45 minute fitness session a few days a week along with practicing improved eating habits are doing wonders for reduced worker illnesses, higher worker productivity, and employee retainment. Corporate America is genuinely shifting priorities and taking pride in boasting about it. The answers are right in front of us." Jones says.
Dozens of published chief executive interviews and study results over the last two years all concur that components for assuring health-fitness program success are: strong management support, good program design, proper planning, and evaluations. Potential companies interested in corporate fitness can gain valuable knowledge from reading this material. Other cost-effective tools and advice can be derived from audio-conferences providing speakers currently overseeing their own corporate wellness programs.
Employers and employees are successfully working together toward the common goals of better health and reduced healthcare costs. Investing in a corporation's finest asset – their employees – is proving to be a rock solid strategy in the area of attractive employee benefits and increased profits. With the recent assistance and stamps of approval from Kaiser Permanente and Blue Cross of California offering fitness program group incentives, smaller to medium-sized companies are now implementing fitness plans and alliances. Corporate fitness programs are working.
