Wearable fitness trackers have exploded onto the fitness market creating unique opportunities to inspire and accurately measure physical activity in the workplace.
Why should you consider adding wearables to your workplace wellness program? Here's 6 reasons:
1. Wearables are High Touch
Ever struggle to keep employees thinking about their health? Fitness trackers can be a subtle daily reminder to stay active which is better than once per month/quarter initiatives or once per year assessments.
2. Easy-to-use
Employees often have enough on their plates to remember besides a plethora of wellness hoops to jump through. With wearables, the employees’ action item is to simply wear the device.
3. Fun and Social
Wearables allow employees to make fitness fun. Employees are more apt to participate when you offer engaging social interactions with challenges and competition.
4. Motivating
Employees can be consistently motivated to reach daily activity goals which keeps their fitness present and achievable.
5. Unifying
Want a way to rally employees together outside of work projects? Fitness can be healthy not only for body and mind but also culture and team morale.
6. Data-Driven
Do you try to operate your business using measurable goals? Devices allow you to incentivize and track physical activity.
What do you think? Are you ready to move the needle on health?
Making wearables a core piece of your workplace wellness program can make the difference.
