But, even more importantly, the health of your company's staff also has tremendous influence on bottom line business performance. Corporate wellness used to be that warm, fuzzy topic that was in vogue, and stimulated thought and conversation among business leaders. Now it's all about driving profits to that bottom line, with the goal of establishing programs that will make your company a healthy and productive place to work.

Having healthier employees will
accomplish many objectives:

  • Reduces healthcare claims
  • Improves employee retention
  • Drastically reduces absenteeism
  • Reduces burnout
  • Improves morale
  • Improves working environment and corporate culture

Common Objections
Sounds great, but it's too daunting a task, and too expensive.
Our company is small – we can't afford an expensive consultant and a long, drawn out program.
This problem is too big, and we don't know where to start.


These concerns are valid, and that is why you need the “Be Fit For Business” solution. The BE FIT FOR BUSINESS COMPANY TOOLKIT is comprehensive, effective and you can start your program today! Regardless of company size, this program is straightforward, easy to implement and is extremely cost effective.

We show you how to implement this entire campaign and keep it going for the life of the company. The toolkit details a step-by-step, quarter-by-quarter approach to setting up a fitness committee, along with providing all of the information necessary to implement your own program, designed to fit your needs! Here's an opportunity for some key employees in your organization to take on the challenge of getting your company on the path to successful health!

“A Healthy Place to Work is More Rewarding Place to Work”

A recent survey polled men and women searching for new positions. When asked about company perks, 54% responded with wanting to have the company subsidize or pay for a health club membership.

“Demonstrate That You Care About Your Employees”


Your most important asset is your people. You can develop improved morale and retention by implementing our affordable health and fitness program. You can instill an environment that will produce physically, mentally, and emotionally charged employees who will improve profits. The key to any successful health and wellness program is to employ tactics that modify and change behavior. Everyone knows that it's good to exercise. We all understand that jelly donuts don't make for a balanced breakfast. We all know that missed deadlines bring about stress. The toolkit will examine options and offer tactics to preempt many of these common pitfalls, as well as provide for making your company a healthier and more energetic place to work.

Take a peek out your office door –
they're out there!”


You will find overstressed employees, obese employees, those with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes, hypertension, a staff suffering from job burnout and depression, etc. The BE FIT FOR BUSINESS PROGRAM brings you analytical tools that will identify the issues in your workforce, and will help you develop a plan of action. This can be accomplished discreetly, and will not single out specific employees.

Americans spend over $6 billion annually on fraudulent diet and health products.

The BE FIT FOR BUSINESS TOOLKIT provides resources from recognized experts and reliable organizations. Each company designs their own program in conjunction with their own specific values and objectives, whether it's weight control, stress management, nutrition, worker safety, or other key areas that are affecting health in the workplace.

Experts claim a minimum of a 4 to 1 investment return on money spent on corporate wellness programs. If you incorporate the reduced output from unhealthy employees, this ratio can surpass more than 10 to 1!

A company called Steelcase in Grand Rapids, Michigan, implemented an optional wellness program. Over 6 years, the personnel enrolled in the program exhibited a 55% reduction in health claims. Certain divisions of DuPont reduced absenteeism by over 47% in a 5-year period after implementing a corporate health campaign. According to a CDC report, over 42% of healthcare costs are preventable, and 80% of illness is attributed to lifestyle. These incredible statistics provide a tremendous opportunity to affect your bottom line positively.

The CDC estimates that obese employees average 2.8 sick days to one when compared to fit employees.
Consider it will cost you 150% of any individual salary as replacement cost for anyone who resigns. Implementing a program that demonstrates that you care about your employees by improving the work environment can positively impact retention of valuable employees.
Let's pose a typical scenario: You have an important business plan to get finished, and you are in charge of the meetings to get this going. Your team is looking for some real innovation, as this is one of your top product offerings in a competitive marketplace.

Improve your workplace

Is your company refrigerator an ideal place for a science experiment?
Do you have antibacterial soap in your bathrooms?
What's in your vending machines? Any healthy options?

Did you know that if one of your top executives has a heart attack it will cost you a minimum of $750K? Add up all the lost time and lost continuity, medical costs, lag time for return to health, and it could surpass seven figures. Be Fit for Business offers an individual toolkit at group rates for our company clients that will be of value to any individual within your organization, regardless of position. The toolkit includes extensive personal tips, ideas and real methods to modify and change behavioral patterns that contribute to poor health. The course has a detailed section, that has received rave reviews, for those employees who are traveling extensively for business. You will see on the Fit For Individuals page that the Be Fit For Business program sells for $24.95. The corporate group rate is ONLY $10.

So, how do we identify the issues at your company? Early in the evaluation process, it is very important to include a health screening for your employees. This establishes a basis to develop your corporate health program, and provides specific individual information for each employee on a confidential basis.

Health screening is an extremely valuable tool to assess personal and company health, identify risks, and to identify where you are doing well! The health screen consists of a series of lifestyle questions. It also provides for clinical information from a physical. The more information gathered the better. Each employee will receive a 20-page, confidential, comprehensive personalized report.

The cost is only $25 per employee. We also provide a summary report for senior management to use in identifying specific risks, along with actions to deal with those risks. You also can measure results of your program with this control group for the first year of your program. The individual employee data is confidential and only delivered to that specific individual.


Why wait? Let's get started!

Business Meeting Example 1

You fly in 5 managers, and the rest are coming from your home office
You set up a dinner at the local steakhouse. After dinner, desserts, too many drinks, you get home at 11:30 PM.
The meeting is at a hotel, stuffy room, breakfast on your own, but you bring in some donuts and coffee. After crunching numbers all morning, you cater in pizza – you want to keep working.
The cokes are flowing freely all afternoon, a few hangovers in the room – you bring in some chocolate chip cookies for the afternoon break


Business Meeting Example 2

You have come to understand the impact of fitness and health in the workplace – you set up a catered dinner with several healthy options accompanied by printed nutrition information – you conduct a fun nutrition quiz after the meal, and award some great prizes. You keep the drinking to a minimum and get them home early.
The meeting starts with a nutritious breakfast loaded with whole grains and fruits.
You periodically break up the meeting with time to stretch, and come up with innovative ways to promote interaction and development of new ideas with brain exercises.
You set up a bike ride for all attendees to go on a short trip to the local Jamba Juice, Baja Fresh, or Quizno's for lunch. (examples of chains with healthy options!) You incorporate a specific topic or task for the group to accomplish during the trip related to your meeting objectives.

You get the idea. It's obvious which example will positively impact your desire to generate productive results. Moreover, the meeting format reduces stress, incorporates healthy practices, and rewards innovation!

The BE FIT FOR BUSINESS TOOLKIT is literally packed with key strategies and tactics to employ that will get your company on the path to great health and financial success. We have developed a step-by-step, quarter-by-quarter timetable for your committee to utilize and modify to your specific needs.
