It's a simple problem...
You need to reduce costs to improve profits. The more employees take sick time or work unproductively the more it costs you, and the more they make health insurance and Workman's Comp claims the more it costs you.
Then there is the whole issue of pain… pain in the form of backaches and headaches that keep people out of work, or less effective when they are working. This does not contribute to your overall bottom line.
... with a simple solution.
Vitalogy has developed a fun and highly effective way to motivate your employees to engage in physical activity. Our program requires no equipment, can be modified for all ages and abilities, and most important, is designed for people to do right at their work station, their desk, in their office… and often while doing something else like talking on the phone or typing at the computer.
It only takes a couple minutes to be effective because it is exactly the right combination of things to do in this technologically driven age where like it or not, most of us sit at the computer all day or otherwise engage in repetitive movement that is ultimately harmful to the body.
The real problem is two fold...
One is that people will not do something, even if it’s for their own good, if it is not fun or they don't otherwise have a reason to look forward to doing it.
Second is that technology over stimulates our minds while it under stimulates our bodies. Sitting in front of a computer for hours at a time without much movement or standing in place doing a repetitive action results in back pain, headaches, digestive problems, breathing difficulties, eye strain, stiff necks, stiff shoulders… the list goes on.
The result is constant discomfort, lower energy levels, rapid fatigue, and an inability to relax. The job itself results in employees becoming less effective on the job.
The fact is that you lose money when...
|
People miss work when they are sick or feeling badly |
|
People work less effectively when they are in pain or tired |
|
The people who would reduce your costs the most by getting healthy are also the ones who are least likely to maintain a traditional exercise program |
Here’s why most corporate sponsored employee health and fitness programs don't work:
That's simple too. The people who actually participate in company sponsored - even mandated programs - end up being the ones who are already physically fit. So, it actually costs you more because you are paying to make the people who already feel good feel better.
In addition, typical company sponsored exercise, health, and massage programs don't get to the root of the problem. All the sitting at the computer and repetitive standing movements damage our posture. Good posture and good mobility and flexibility are the hallmarks of youth. Think of it… a person sits all day with their head forward, burning tremendous energy holding it up, yet at the end of the day says “I’m exhausted, and all I did was sit at my desk.”
Change has to occur at the most fundamental level to be permanent. Posture is the most fundamental baseline for performance of the body. Not only will our program teach your employees how to improve their posture, but they will learn how to keep their bodies warmed up, like a car with a warmed up engine, or the computer in hibernate mode vs. being off entirely.
When employees feel better, production goes up and costs go down. |
