HR Professionals - Give Your Department or Division a Boost

Our tools include team-building challenges, that can be used for fund-raising, group challenges with prizes, or personal morale boosters! Employees can chart and compare progess on specific challenge (aggregate data), or simply challenge themselves to meet their own personal goals.

Smaller Business and Single Departments

Now even smaller business owners or a single department can offer employees access to the same tools as the big guys - for as little as $3.00 per month, per employee (volume discounts available).

Making a Business Case For Wellness?

Workplace Wellness Programs makes business sense - both in directly measurable ways and in less tangible ways. Employees who are physically unfit take 2.5 times the sick days as fit employees. Incorporating fitness and healthy living practices into the workplace can be easy and fun, and is an investment that will pay off in improved morale, reduced workplace injuries, and improved productivity.

April 1, 1990

"Only about 51% of men and 30% of women in the selected cohorts had retired from a job by age 65. Seen another way, only about 16% of all job separations by men aged 50 to 65 were retirements; for women, the percentage was 12%. Therefore, in many cases, the job separation that ultimately ended a career must have been a layoff, an illness or disability, or a family-related event."
