wellness and fitness programs  

Definition

  • Wellness and fitness programs sponsored by and conducted in organizations have historically aimed at enhancing individual health, providing health risk screenings, avoiding the burden of suffering associated with distress, health, and safety problems, and reducing the organizational costs of distress at work. Because cardiovascular disease continues as the leading cause of death for men and women in the American workforce, many wellness and fitness programs have been designed around aerobic or cardiovascular fitness.
