If your New Year’s resolution is to get fit in 2015, your employer may be the key to your success. According to a 2014 survey of 510 human resources professionals, about a third of employers offer a program to help employees lose weight. About 7 percent more are planning to offer a weight loss program within the next year.
And did you know that about 20 percent of employers now have on-site fitness centers, and 14 percent offer on-site fitness classes?
“A lot of research is coming out, and some of it shows a return on investment for having wellness programs,” said Andrew Gavigan, founder of AG Fitness in West Hills, California, which provides wellness services to corporate clients such as Red Bull and Munchkin.
