Employee Health & Fitness Month
Observed During: May, 2024
Global Employee Health & Fitness Month (GEHFM) is an international and national observance of health and fitness in the workplace. The goal of GEHFM is to promote the benefits of a healthy lifestyle to employers and their employees through worksite health promotion activities and environments.
As providers of workplace wellness programs, employers have a tremendous opportunity to help their employees see the value of adopting healthier behaviors so they can live healthier lives. Studies of employee wellness programs consistently find that executive leadership is critical to employee engagement. If employees believe creating a culture of physical activity is an executive priority, employees are more likely to be physically active.
There are many reasons to sign the CEO Pledge to make physical activity a priority in your workplace:
-
Employees will be healthier
-
Employees will be happier and more engaged
-
Your organization will increase productivity
-
Your organization will be better positioned to recruit and retain top talent
-
Your organization will be publicly recognized as a forward-thinking employer and thought leader
During Global Employee Health and Fitness Month, show support for workplace wellness and take the CEO Pledge for Physical Activity. Encourage your organization to create an active working environment and provide opportunities for its employees to be active throughout the workday.
