There are many ways to help improve your company’s productivity, and it’s not about pizza parties. It’s time to pivot to an employee program that will enhance your business’s output and your employees.
Incorporating an employee fitness program into your company’s benefits tremendously benefits you and your employees. By showing you care about your employees in a holistic way, you will see happier and more productive employees.
And those aren’t the only benefits! Read on to see why Envision Fitness highly recommends enrolling in an employee fitness plan.
1. Increased Productivity
By providing an employee fitness plan, you will find your employees to be more focused, alert, and productive. According to a study by the World Health Organization, employees are more likely to be productive if they exercise the previous day.
While it takes some time for employees to experience the work benefits of regular exercise, you, as the employer, will love the results if you provide an employee fitness plan.
Their use of the plan will directly benefit your organization over time, which in itself is an investment in your employees and the future of your company.
2. Improved Employee Health
Is your company plagued by sick days and doctor’s appointments? Incorporating an employee fitness plan can improve your employees’ exercise regime and encourage a healthier lifestyle, which can benefit their metabolism.
This can reduce the risk of chronic diseases and sicknesses and enhance their overall well-being.
3. Stress Reduction
Every job can be stressful at times, whether consistently or at various times throughout the month or year. Encouraging your employees to participate in exercise can help reduce their stress levels over time.
Exercise is a proven stress reliever and can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, thereby leading to a more positive work environment.
4. Team Building
It’s time to look outside the box for team-building activities. Group fitness classes or challenges can help foster team building among your employees.
If they work together towards a common (non-work related) goal, then communication and teamwork can strengthen among the employees.
5. Reduced Healthcare Costs
As we have learned, exercise can help reduce stress and chronic illnesses. This directly impacts healthcare costs. Healthier employees don’t need the doctor as often, which can lower your costs for their healthcare.
Encourage employees to adopt healthier lifestyle choices, such as eating, exercising, and reducing stress.
6. Attraction & Retention of Talent
Benefits are a great way to attract and retain talented employees. An employee fitness program is a great benefit to use to attract new employees and keep your current employees happier.
As we discussed, a less stressed-out employee is a happier and more productive employee, which may reduce their odds of changing jobs.
7. Improved Work-Life Balance
Are you struggling to improve your employees’ work-life balance? Provide an employee fitness program.
By giving your employees an excuse to work out and be healthier, you are showing them you care about their whole selves and that you value the holistic well-being of your employees.
8. Enhanced Morale & Job Satisfaction
By providing fitness opportunities to your employees, you are demonstrating a commitment to their well-being.
When employees feel supported by their employers, it can bring about better morale and job satisfaction. This will help you retain employees and receive more productivity.
