Why Fitness at Work?

Employee fitness pays off on the organizational as well as the
individual level.

It is well known that exercise helps relieve tension and stress, improves physical and mental health, immune function, alertness and self confidence. Personal fitness pays off not only on the individual level, but has significant positive organizational consequences in terms of productivity, benefit cost control and employee satisfaction. A key factor in the success of any business is the ability to attract and retain healthy and productive employees. A quality onsite fitness and wellness program communicates positive corporate values and helps to attract and retain top talent.

The Facts:

  • At least 70% of an organization’s benefit costs are incurred in six disease categories, all of which are preventable or at least moderated through physical activity and other lifestyle /behaviour changes. These include: cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, respiratory, digestive, cancer and stress.

  • 63% of Canadians are not active enough to gain health benefits.

  • As much as one half of the decline in physical function between the ages of 30 and 70 can be attributed not to aging itself, but rather to a sedentary lifestyle.

 

Making the Case for Fitness at Work

In 2000, Health Systems Group developed A Business Case for Active Living in the Workplace, under contract with Health Canada.

The project involved an analysis of the research conducted in workplace settings over the last 40 years. The findings can be summarized as follows:
