Exercise Challenge Activities Lead to Peer Support and Accountability

Sunday, August 14th, 2011

Having employees participate in an exercise challenge can be one of the most rewarding things an employer can do with a company. An exercise challenge gives employees the chance to be a part of a group that is based purely on peer support. Peer accountability can be a useful tool for keeping morale up in the office. Not only is it an exercise challenge, but also a morale challenge. Happy employees do better work. Period. If morale is high, co-workers find ways to work together to reach goals. What better way to improve morale than to provide them with tools directly through an exercise challenge? Daily Endorphin helps design custom exercise challenges that produce results.

Employee Wellness Saves Money on Healthcare

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011

Daily Endorphin provides fitness challenge programs to ensure that your employees are healthy and interested in being at work. According to a University of Michigan study on worksite wellness (http://www.physorg.com/news201364819.html), the majority of workdays missed by employees could be avoided if there were options for employees to be healthier. In this study, workplace wellness programs saved a utility company $12.1 million over 9 years, and ultimately lowered employee turnover rate. With Daily Endorphin, your company can create a customized plan for providing that service to your employees.

Employee wellness is a crucial part of the workplace. Having employees that are healthy means that they’ll be more willing to go above and beyond for their company. Many companies do not offer any kind of means to alleviate the inherent stresses that come from jobs. In some cases, this drives up the company’s health care costs. A Harvard study by Katherine Baicker, David Cutler, and Zirui Song (http://content.healthaffairs.org/cgi/content/abstract/hlthaff.2009.0626) show that for every dollar spent on a wellness program, there is a correlating $3.27 decrease in medical costs. With a fitness program from Daily Endorphin, your employees will not only feel great about coming to work, but will feel great about working with their teams more in depth, as well as continue their healthy lifestyle changes outside of the workplace. Workplace wellness provides your employees with the energy and attitude they need to be as productive as possible. A workplace where everyone loves their job: Nothing to lose, and everything to gain!

Wellness Incentive Creates Positive Attitudes, More Productive Work

Friday, August 5th, 2011

It’s important to keep a happy work place, and one sure-fire way of doing just that is to offer a wellness incentive. Employees who feel healthy perform better at work. Voluntary fitness programs for employees put the responsibility in their hands. If a wellness incentive is offered, employees are more inclined to take pride in working with their co-workers to achieve goals. This positive attitude about health can carry over to the workplace, making it fun and enjoyable to go to work! A wellness incentive can help save money and increase productivity while challenging your company to be healthy and have fun.
