HOW DO YOU ENGAGE TECHNOLOGY EMPLOYEES IN CORPORATE WELLNESS WHEN THEY HAVE:> High stress from working long hours> High risk for “sitting disease”—or sitting
all day at their desk> Limited time to be healthy
Here are four specific examples of successful approaches we use at client sites to engage technology employees.
At-desk workouts1To encourage technology employees at a large technology company to sit less and move more, HealthFitness staff host 15-minute stretch/energy breaks in conference rooms where employees learn workouts to do at their desks. At the end of the training session, employees receive their own stretch band along with laminated cards and handouts featuring the desk exercises.
High-tech marketing2Tech-savvy employees at this large technology company expect and embrace high-tech, innovative ways to learn about health and wellness. To promote the on-site fitness center, HealthFitness staff create interactive posters with QR codes. Employees then simply scan areas of the poster to link to digital content including video tours of the on-sitefitness center.
Virtual fitness trainer3No time for personal fitness training? No problem. Thanks to more than 30 two-minute videos produced by HealthFitness corporate fitness staff and posted on the company’s private YouTube channel, tech employees short on time can watch quick videos on topics including “3 Common Workout Mistakes,” “Shoulder Shape-Up,” and “Boost your Bench Training.”
Build a bike challenges4Employees at a large biotech company tap into the expertise of HealthFitness corporate fitness staff to lead fun team-building activities—including an obstacle course where employees assemble new bicycles, race them around the corporate campus, and then donate them to a children’s charity fully built and safety checked.
