Experienced athletes know to warm up and stretch prior to starting their daily workout. Unison Industries also understands the value of stretching before employees start a shift that requires fine motor skills. That’s why they conduct stretch classes specifically designed for production workers who use the same muscles throughout the day at their job. A morning site walk also attracts 65 to 75 employees three days a week, but if that’s not your thing, how about Free Fruit Tuesday, when – you guessed it – free fruit is available to all employees! These activities are all part of the globally-recognized HealthAhead corporate wellness program supported by Unison Industries and their parent company, GE. The program’s mission is to establish a work environment that promotes healthy lifestyles for employees and their families. With a wide range of elements that include education, tobacco cessation, physical activity, stress management and nutrition, it’s a program that has something for everyone at the 580-employee site. And focus he did! A year later as a result of his consistent participation and incorporating nutritional guidance from the program, he’s reduced his BMI, achieved considerable weight loss and realized increased energy. Of course there is plenty of evidence that those accomplishments contribute to improved health. There has also been financial impact to both David and his employer. David now only takes 1 prescription of only half the dosage he was on a year ago, making David, his doctor and his employer happy.
