+ Life at the office in 2017
The Greener Grass wouldn't be complete without some product concepts inspired by our collection of interviews with experts in the field of health and wellness. Today's idea looks at what a day at the office might be like in the year 2017, reflecting the current interest in corporate wellness programs. Check out our previous health and wellness concepts here - we'll post a new idea each day this week!
Life at the office in 2017
Life at my company sure has changed in the last 10 years! I am the healthiest I have ever been since the company subscribed and promoted the Meal Master wellness plan. Ever since, everyone who has signed onto the plan is feeling great, being more productive, and I can’t even remember the last time I had a sick day! Haven’t heard of the Meal Master system? Let me tell you how it works…
When you sign on, you’ll begin meeting with a nutritionist quarterly who will help you to establish a set of realistic goals you’d like to accomplish through your diet. (For me it was losing weight early on, and then later maintaining my ideal weight.) They’ll help you set your individual goals, and that information goes into the Meal Master software program guide. It’s great! Just download it to your phone and laptop, and you’ll have your nutrition information at your fingertips as you go throughout your day. And since you’ll take your phone wherever you go, like the grocery store, you’ll have a guide right there in your hand.
Our company also bought a Smart Vendor for our floor. This was such a lifesaver! For those who sign onto the program the Smart Vendor displays on screen only the choices it has available that fit into your diet according to your goals (thanks to Blue Tooth!). Oh sure, I’ve seen all the choices that Adam has when he steps up and gets a snack, but I’m perfectly happy without the temptation. Believe me, ignorance is bliss!
Exercise offers a whole other range of options for subscribers. Feel like you never have time to exercise? As part of the wellness plan the company has bought several new ExerChairs. These chairs allow you to comfortably pedal while you work, right at your desk! Again, Blue Tooth signals to your laptop how many miles you have pedaled each day, and adjusts your diet allowance accordingly.
And if that weren’t enough, our company has mandatory daily exercise breaks. It’s like recess all over again - each day there is a different group activity in our fitness room. Yoga, Pilates, aerobics and spinning classes are just to name a few. Our company also installed a new 30 minute work out circuit with free weights and nautilus equipment. I feel so energized afterwards, even if I don’t break a sweat.
Overall, our company has saved money by incorporating the wellness plan and reduced health care plan costs (which have risen 20+% each year nationally). It’s a win-win for everyone; I feel great, am more productive while working, and have likely added years to my life - all while saving my company money on insurance premiums. Thanks Meal Master!
