...Mirola Claims Manager Memo: This report entails discussion on the viability of the fitness centre. Cost vs benefits have been studied and ways to decrease cost and increase revenue have been looked at. The options have been evaluated considering the need for space and the high cost to maintain the place.

...Bounce Fitness Corporate Marketing Plan Executive Summary Bounce Fitness will serve the corporations in the city centres of Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, helping them to become more productive, while lowering their overall costs with innovative wellness programs and strategies. Bounce Fitness is based on two simple facts: 1. Healthy employees are more productive than chronically ill employees. 2. It costs less to prevent injuries or illnesses than to treat them after they occur. Traditional endeavours to corporate health care are quite reactive. Corporations wait until after staff has been ill or injured, and then pay for the necessary treatments. The Bounce Fitness approach, emphasises prevention and good health promotion, and is much more proactive. At Bounce Fitness, we tie worker productivity directly to the health care issue. We believe that traditional approaches to the current health care crisis are misdirected. Bounce Fitness contends that by helping employees change their behaviour patterns and choose healthier lifestyles, the health care costs to corporations will be considerably reduced through increased staff productivity, reduced absenteeism and turnover, reduced worker’s compensation claims and a healthier, motivated staff. Current economic and demographic changes will make health care issues worse. The environmental factors and the local competitive situation is a clear message to Bounce Fitness. The time is right for a Bounce Fitness initiative...

...Wellness: the new health goal • Generations of people have viewed health simply as the absence of disease • Health – typically refers to the overall condition of a person’s body or mind and to the presence or absence of illness or injury • Wellness – beyond the simple presence or absence of disease, wellness refers to optimal health and vitality – to living life to its fullest • There are two differences between health and wellness: o Health – or some aspects of it – can be determined or influenced by factors beyond your control, such as your genes, age and family history (for example, family history of heart disease or cancer) o Wellness is largely determined by the decisions you make about how you live. For example, eating sensibly, exercising and having regular screening tests. Enhanced wellness, therefore, involves making conscious decisions to control risk factors that contribute to disease or injury. (age and family history are risk factors that cannot be controlled. Behaviours such as smoking, exercising and eating healthy are factors you can control) The dimensions of wellness • Experts have defined six dimensions of wellness: o Physical o Emotional o Intellectual o Interpersonal o Spiritual o Environmental • These dimensions are interrelated; each has an effect on the others • The process of achieving wellness is constant and dynamic, involving change and growth • Wellness is not static; ignoring any dimension of wellness can have harmful...

...I became interested in Health, Wellness, and Fitness through association with my major in Dietetics, and that is why I choose to minor in this area. I have always had a person interest in fitness, but as I grew older I discovered that I enjoy teaching aspects of fitness as well. Back in my home town, I help my martial arts instructor teach taekwondo to young children. I always made happy and proud when I saw the kids I helped succeed. That is part of the reason I want to teach health, wellness, and fitness. As well as with the awareness that comes from being a dietetics major about the importance of health, I believe that is truly important that people are also active. As I dietician I can advise people on what they should eat, but I can also suggest fitness plans or activities they can do to stay active. I personally see myself working with younger children and teenagers. I feel that is crucial that we teach younger generations the importance to general health, physical fitness, and mental wellness. Parents have started viewing it as the school systems job to education young people about their changing bodies. It is important to educate children about their growing bodies because I remember thinking as a child that something was wrong with me when...

...Developing an Organizational Employee Wellness Plan Sample Outline This outline is intended to be a starting point to guide state agencies in developing their own agency-specific wellness plan. The provided outline addresses specific points to consider in developing the agency plan, but each agency will need to add additional content to define adequately what and how each activity will be implemented in the agency.

Additionally in some sections, such as Program Objectives and Program Content, the outline provides suggested objectives or program content for agencies to consider.
