What does ‘wellness’ mean to you? Is it about having enviable results on your health check report? Or going for a long run without your legs wobbling? Essentially, wellness is a combination of both health and fitness. However, most of us regularly take health checks but have no clue about our fitness levels. Doctors might also advise us to exercise regularly (as a general tip) but never elaborate its reason and importance (in most cases).
So, what do you need to do? Set a goal to really help you focus. Define your workforce’s personal ‘fitness score’ or goal with Fit for Life – the only bi-annual assessment that puts a number to your employees’ and companies fitness. The fitness score of your employees is based on 4 parameters – body stats, strength, endurance and flexibility. It’s also normalized between gender and age so, anyone can compare with anyone – Just the motivation you need to keep getting better!
What does this mean for your company? Only when you’re aware of your employees’ fitness levels, can you make decisions to improve on them and incorporate better wellness programs – it’s as simple as that. Without knowing the problem areas, you wouldn’t know what interventions to make or which wellness programs (if they exist) are working and which aren’t. Healthy competition between employees to improve their scores and fitness levels is another major benefit of the FFL assessment.
Through our assessments, we have found the highest FFL score to be 96 (on 100) and the average BMI (Body Mass Index) – 25.4. What we also found in our assessments are the below:
- Employees are aware they aren’t fit enough.
- They do admit their current lifestyle could be changed for the better.
- Most participants lack in strength and endurance.
- Lower body strength isn’t given much importance.
- Most of the Fit for Life participants (average taken of people in organisations) are overweight
- Employees don’t have a clear, simple path to begin fitness. There is too much Information that’s confusing people and restricting their start.
As a decision maker in your organization it only makes sense to introduce a Fit for Life assessment to give your employees a starting point. Start today by thinking about what fit and healthy means to you and set a goal for you and your company by scheduling the Fit for Life assessment. Let’s take the first step on the way to becoming the fittest company together!
