In addition, high morale enhances your ability to recruit talent since your happy employees are more likely to recommend their employer to friends and professional contacts.
Finding time for exercise is one obstacle keeping many of your employees from thriving in their lives and their jobs. In 2018, 60% of American adults said getting enough exercise was important to the quality of their lives, according to a survey by The National Business Group on Health. Yet only 23.2% of American adults meet or exceed the CDC’s weekly exercise recommendations.
When asked what barriers keep them from exercising lack of time and affordability come up in numerous surveys. Since many adults spend at least one-third of their time working, employers are in a unique position to promote wellness and fitness. By removing barriers to exercise, your company is at an advantage both in recruiting the best talent and helping that talent thrive.
