Specialty Answering Service Get's Healthy and Fit

Answering Service Takes On A Fitness Challenge

Philadelphia, PA, April 28, 2010 --(specialtyansweringservice.net) -- Specialty Answering Service has hired fitness Guru, Joe O'Neill to implement an employee wellness program. O'Neill is designing a program of diet and exercise geared towards the needs of the sedentary phone operator. At the annual company meeting, employees were asked what their goals were for the upcoming year. The number one response was "to get healthy". The company decided it was time to give the workers what they asked for. The first step was to create healthy snack alternatives in the company's break rooms. When employees requested that they get together for exercise classes, management felt the need to bring in a professional.

Joe O'Neill, fitness instructor, is known for his results as well as his unorthodox methods. The first step was for O'Neill to walk a mile in the telephone operators shoes. O'Neill came on board and worked the phones as a call center operator. In doing so, he was able to see the difficulty staying healthy on the job. The high pressure job requires the operators to be seated for a majority of the day. Such a lifestyle makes physical fitness, especially challenging. So a plan was implemented to get the operators in shape. The plan focused on a healthy lifestyle and team building methods.

Corporate wellness programs are designed to encourage wellness in employees. These programs are tailored specific to the work environment. Corporate Wellness programs are popping up all over the United States. These programs can be implemented in any type of work environment; from factories to corporate offices; from large corporations, to small businesses. Employees Wellness is a great idea. Having a Employee Wellness program will improve health, get employee fit. The programs boost morale, and increase productivity in the workplace.

While many offices use weight loss competitions as an incentive for employees, Specialty has opted to create a team building atmosphere. By working together on total health, as opposed to rapid weight loss, employees can make permanent changes instead of being yo-yo dieters. The results are already paying dividends as the atmosphere, attitude and general fitness level has improved dramatically across the board.
