Introducing Your Corporate Fitness Equipment Solution
Research has proven that exercise and gym breaks for employees during the working day can significantly improve mood, energy levels and day to day productivity in the work place. Exercise also minimises stress and lowers sick absences giving rise to a more productive work force. Employers are increasingly introducing fitness initiatives and wellbeing programmes as part of their staff engagement strategy to encourage employees to become more active. Cut backs on staff bonuses and promotions have been inevitable in recent years but programmes to improve employee fitness can be an effective way for employers to express gratitude and illustrate a commitment to the workforce. In addition, not only does a company gym improve staff retention, it also assists with the recruitment process by attracting high calibre applicants due to valuable company perks and improved employer profile.
How Can You Implement A Fitness Initiative?
Some companies pay for employee gym memberships at commercial facilities and this might be the only option if space is at a premium. However, an on site staff gym should always be considered first if you have the space as it can be up to 5 times cheaper than paying commercial gym rates. An on site gym is a great way to promote a company team building environment while encouraging social interaction and healthy interdepartmental competition. Introducing a culture of exercise and training for charity events instils a feel good factor within a company and fosters a sense of belonging along with a heightened level of achievement individually or as a group. Whilst it is unrealistic to expect everyone to participate in organised events, employers who promote these types of events are showing they’re committed to building a healthy team.
