BOXING INSPIRED CORPORATE FITNESS CLASSES

With BX1 TRIBE Corporate Fitness Programs your company can:

Increase productivity, morale and creativity amongst your team

A survey conducted by Medibank Private found that in relation to Australian workers healthy employees are nearly three times more productive than employees with poor health. Although company productivity and creativity are difficult to measure, improved employee morale and productivity can largely impact the success of a business.

Reduce staff absenteeism from injuries and illness

Data collected by the Australian bureau of statistics shows that absenteeism costs Australian employers billions of dollars each year. It was also shown that a healthier employee spends fewer days away from work due to illness/injury. The direct costs of hiring replacement staff can be physically estimated, however the indirect costs can often go unnoticed. Unplanned sick days by staff cause delays in project completion, increased stress on co-workers that must take on extra responsibilities as well as the ineffectiveness of a temporary replacement which will inevitably generate a reduction in corporate profits and success.

Reduce staff presenteeism

This is a new trend whereby employees who turn up for work fail to demonstrate the level of productivity expected and required by the company due to stress, injury or illness.

Reduction in employee turnover

There is no doubt that employee turnover is expensive! A great way to promote employee retention is a corporate fitness program as it sends a clear message to employees that the senior staff and management team value their well-being. According to the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency (2002), it costs $150,000-200,000 to replace a lawyer, while for a bank teller it’s $30,000. Given the costs associated with high staff turnover, the loss of intellectual property and the induction costs and time associated with replacing staff it is not surprising that employers are looking to corporate health and fitness to not only attract staff, but to keep them for as long as possible.

Improved corporate image

Businesses that provide corporate fitness programs demonstrate to their employees that they care about their staff’s health and well-being which will set them apart from competing organisations. A strong corporate image can increase staff retention and enhance the appeal of the organisation as a place to work. With obesity at an all-time high and a growing number of consumers interested in health and fitness, corporations that offer employee fitness programs will reap the proven benefits of this growing market trend.

Reduce workplace injury and associated costs

Healthy employees generally possess fewer risk factors for disease and illness and have a lower risk of injury thus costing their employer less. Group exercise and fitness classes are a fantastic way to create and maintain a healthy workplace that encounters fewer medical costs that often consume corporate profits and employee pay checks.

Increase potential for recruitment

Companies cannot survive by competing for skilled employees on the basis of salary alone. Employee benefits such as a health and fitness program are a very effective way to add value to your employees. If an employee receives a pay rise of $1000 per year, this increase would not be viewed significant at all for medium to high income earners. It would work out to be less than $20 per week extra before tax. But a $1000 investment into an employees health and well-being through a corporate fitness program would provide a great number of mental and physical benefits across the entire year and re-enforce your organisations corporate image to current and future staff.

Deliver a positive return on your investment

A recent review of corporate health and fitness programs found a significant return on investment (ROI) with a benefit-to-cost ratio ranging from $1.49 to $4.91 in benefits for every dollar spent on the programs.
