Company fitness concept - how to create more health for your employees

Motivated and healthy employees are every entrepreneur's dream. They are the basis for satisfaction and productivity.

Work-life balance and a healthy lifestyle play a major role today. Both employees and company managers are focusing on the topic of health. Workplace health promotion is becoming a key measure with regard to employer branding. People's everyday lives are becoming increasingly challenging and complex. People are under much greater strain, especially mentally. A burden that is not ignored in the context of the performance of one's own profession. It is important for the employer to create targeted offers for compensation. The keyword here is workplace health promotion.

In this article, you will find out in detail what workplace health promotion can look like and what importance sport has in the performance and productivity of your employees. If you care about the health of your employees, then get to know the possibilities of corporate fitness. We will introduce you to creative approaches that will make you a real employee magnet. But let's start at the beginning. 

Promoting health and fitness through corporate fitness and sports offers many advantages. More exercise in the everyday life of employees leads to an increase in work-life balance. Exercise and health are closely linked. For this reason, we present the key benefits for your company, your team and you below.

The creation of training opportunities not only increases the well-being of employees, but also leads to the employer brand being strengthened. Companies that offer corporate sports and support employees in training gain advantages in terms of attracting and retaining employees.

Exercise and other measures to increase company fitness are essential drivers of performance. Although increasing or maintaining performance should only be a secondary condition, it is still an advantage for companies that should not be underestimated.

Sick leave, which could be avoided by a balanced lifestyle through more exercise and fitness, puts a strain on companies. Other employees have to absorb the workload and are put under even greater strain. In addition, there are costs due to sick leave. Company fitness can lead to minimizing absenteeism and thus reducing the costs incurred by illness. Avoiding these diseases also means that tasks do not have to be redistributed. This is an advantage for every single team member.

Did you know that in an office job, a large proportion of absenteeism is caused by back pain? Some people say that sitting is the new smoking. Limited physical activity in the workplace creates problems that can be improved and eliminated through targeted training.

In addition to physical health, the mental health of employees also plays an important role in maintaining performance in the long term. The more demanding everyday life is, the more important it is to have a targeted corporate fitness concept. Sport has a positive effect on the mind and creates a balance to everyday life. 

Health, satisfaction and motivation are closely linked and mutually dependent. A good physical and mental condition has a positive effect on job and life satisfaction. Satisfied employees enjoy coming to work and can be motivated to perform.

Companies that focus on the health of their employees and offer corporate fitness strengthen their image and show that they take health management (CHM) seriously. Employees also carry this message to their circles of acquaintances and friends and represent the company positively to the outside world. A strong and positive image has a long-term positive effect on companies.

Overcoming your weaker self alone can be quite challenging. For this reason, it can be a good idea to train together in a team. Instead of setting goals for oneself, success can be celebrated as a team. In this way, workplace health promotion becomes a team-building measure at the same time. 

In-house fitness offers in the form of courses are about offering an active contribution through exercise. Through fitness courses, which are conducted by booked fitness coaches, employees have the opportunity to be actively involved in their company.

The topic of these courses is as individual as their target group and objectives. If, for example, you recognize a high motivation in the team to increase endurance and stamina, cardio workouts are suitable.

With this approach, it is advisable to ask the staff beforehand about the availability of appointments and their readiness. It is also important to know the personal preferences of the team in order to offer the right course(s).

A subsidy for gym fees is also a way to increase company fitness. It's a self-reliant approach that allows employees to be enrolled in a gym at a discounted rate.

Employees are free to choose when they want to work on their fitness. In addition, the variety of offers ensures that there is something for everyone. From endurance, coordination and courses to pure muscle training, each member can choose for themselves which activity they want to pursue. There are certain allowances per employee, which may be subsidized free of tax and social security contributions. Here, too, there are various corporate fitness providers that will help you develop targeted fitness measures.

The disadvantage of this approach is that it takes place independently of the company. The team-building effect is limited.

One of the measures with which a company can set itself apart in the long term is its own fitness studio. Workplace health promotion is offered directly in the company and can take place together with colleagues. In this way, the sporting activity of the employees is linked to the company. Your own fitness studio is a special offer that convinces.

It offers flexibility in terms of time and avoids problems when making appointments. It gets to the heart of different and individual sporting goals and still offers companies the opportunity to strengthen team spirit. Employees can also completely save on gym fees.

In addition to offering opportunities to promote health, awareness and anchoring in one's own corporate culture is also an important component for the success of the measure.

Health awareness must be deeply anchored in one's own work and philosophy. Then it can be lived in the company in the long term. This ensures the greatest effectiveness of the measures taken to promote company fitness.
