CORPORATE WORKSITE WELLNESS

Search Engine People, an Ontario based marketing start up decided to address overweight issues and get their people moving.  Their CEO, wanted his staff to adopt a healthier lifestyle and discover ways to link fitness with camaraderie (social time). He felt that happy employees take better care of customers and enjoy working for the company. 

People aren't made to sit for eight hours a day.  We have to move and do things to stimulate energy and alertness.  Movement is magic to reduce stress and improve morale.  So they introduced onsite games rooms, a masseuse, dance classes and ergonomic work stations.  They decided to use wellness as a strategic driver as well as part of their overall culture.
