Sports Culture in the organization to Improve health of employees

Hi all,

While trying out many initiatives to engage employees in regular 40 minutes of exercise daily, we observed that bringing sports culture in the organization is an excellent way towards it. So, we started organizing annual sports meet every year in our organization and extensively advertised for the games 3 months in advance. 

This was done to engage employees in practicing their favorite games and thereby a good amount of physical exercise and mental relaxation. 

We saw a good number of employees started practicing and this peaked when near to the sports meet. I think, if we bring sports culture in the organization and lobbying for sports infrastructure at the management level, we can improve the employees engaged in regular exercice.

Weight Reduction Challenge

Overweight and obese individuals are prone to high-risk diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, certain cancers, joint problems etc. In our plant, nearly 40% of the employees are overweight or obese. Unless intervened at this stage, the condition will worsen and increases the morbidity thereby productivity of the employees.

Though everybody wants to be in good shape, they lack motivation. So we thought of throwing a challenge to employees to motivate them to stay healthy and fit.

We initially released 2 teasers to arouse curiosity in the minds of employees.

After announcing the challenge, total of 132 employees registered for the challenge.

I provided them a customised diet chart considering their Basal Metabolic Rate(BMR), type of work and other factors. For this and follow-up, I developed an excel utility.

REVIEW & MOTIVATION
As per the challenge requirement, all the participants were supposed to come to health center every week for the next six months and measure their weight. OHC staff would record their weight in the follow-up sheet.
We used to display the list of employees who reduced more than 2Kg weight in front of the canteen.

RESULT
By the end of six months, 115 employees could decrease their weight.
Highest weight reduced by an employee was 15Kg.
Total 5 employees reduced more than 10Kg of weight.
37 employees reduced more than 5 to10Kg and
remaining are ranging between 1 to 5Kg weight reduction.

Again, we did review their weight at one year of the announcement of the challenge. Around 90% of employees were either sustained their weight reduction or reduced further. We gave prizes to them on world health day celebration.

Now, they are the role models for others.

Please go through the attached presentation for more details.
