Why should your company consider corporate personal training?

Maintaining happy and healthy employees saves you money – it’s that simple, employers need fitness programs and tools to help empower their employees to lead healthier and more productive lives. Employees are a company’s greatest asset, but also one of its highest risks. With every risk there is also the opportunity for great rewards. Companies implement all kinds of risk management strategies throughout their organizations, but often fail to implement any sort of risk management program in regards to the health & productivity of their employees. A well structured corporate personal training program will reduce overall health risks and improve employee morale and productivity.

With the majority of employees spending long hours in the workplace, employers have a unique opportunity to help employees live healthier, more productive lives. The benefits of corporate personal training programs has been proven through a significant quantity of research, which consistently reveals a positive result for wellness programs.

Corporate Fitness Case Studies

Exercise at work boosts productivity – Devoting work time to physical activity can lead to higher productivity.

This is shown in a study performed by researchers at Stockholm University and Karolinska Institutet that is being published in Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

The study shows that it is possible to use work time for exercise or other health-promoting measures and still attain the same or higher production levels. The same production levels with fewer work hours means greater productivity, while at the same time individuals benefit from better health as a result of the physical activity.

“This increased productivity comes, on the one hand, from people getting more done during the hours they are at work, perhaps because of increased stamina and, on the other hand, from less absenteeism owing to sickness,” says Ulrica von Thiele Schwarz and Henna Hasson, the researchers behind the study.

In the study, two workplaces in dental care were asked to devote 2.5 hours per week to physical activity, distributed across two sessions. Another group had the same decrease in work hours but without obligatory exercise, and a third group maintained their usual work hours, 40 hours a week.

The results showed that all three groups were able to maintain or even increase their production level, in this case the number of patients treated, during the study period compared with the corresponding time the previous year. Those who exercised also reported improvements in self-assessed productivity – they perceived that they got more done at work, had a greater work capacity, and were sick less often.

• Wrest Point Hotel Casino in Hobart, Tasmania, reported a return of $4.87 for every dollar spent on their pro-active Health Management program with Healthy Business. Wrest Point now reports an average of 950 less sick days each year, a decrease of 62.1% compared to previous years. Add to that a total of 48 less workers compensation claims each year, a 36.4% reduction. This program focused on high risk populations, including cleaners, house-keeping, coin clearance and maintenance/cellars and the emphasis was on education programs, immunization, integrated return-to-work plans and injury prevention/work hardening strategies.
• Providence Health System-Everett (USA) saved an estimated $1.5 million or a cost-benefit ratio of 1 to 4.24 over the three years of an outcomes-based employee health benefits program called the Wellness Challenge. By offering financial incentives to employees who demonstrated responsibility for their health and fitness based on set criteria, the program showed reductions in the use of health benefits, lower medical claims, less absenteeism, and improved health habits. Health care claims were 33.6% lower for employees at Providence Health System-Everett than at nine other similar hospitals.
• Each dollar invested in workplace health promotion yielded $1.42 over two years in lower absenteeism costs at Du Pont Co (USA). Absences from illness unrelated to the job among 45,000 blue-collar workers dropped 14% at 41 industrial sites where the health promotion program was offered, compared with a 5.8% decline at 19 sites where it was not.
• Superior Coffee and Foods, a Bensenville-Illinois-based subsidiary of Sara Lee Corporation, attributes impressive results to the success of the company’s comprehensive wellness program. Superior showed 22% fewer admissions to a hospital, 29% shorter hospital stays, and 42% lower expenses per admission when comparing costs for this division’s 1,200 employees with costs for other divisions. Long-term disability costs were down by 40%.
• With medical costs per employee at $6,000, nearly twice the national average, Union Pacific Railroad (USA) introduced the concept of personal health management to its 28,000 employees, mostly union and blue collar. Beginning with a modest medical self-care initiative at an annual cost of $50 per person, the program achieved net savings of $1.26 million. In addition, a voluntary program to help employees lower health risks projected a cost-benefit ratio of 1 to 1.57 after one year. Employees in a treatment group lowered their risk of high blood pressure (45%) and high cholesterol (34%); others moved out of the at-risk range for weight problems (30%); and 21% stopped smoking.
