Rockford Acromatic Products is into serious competition. Not only is the company a player in the auto parts industry, its 80 employees are kicking butt on the fitness front too.
The company initiated a health and wellness program aimed at helping -- and rewarding -- staffers lose weight and exercise more. The benefits included shrinking waistlines and some padding in their bank accounts. The company says it spends about $12,000 a year on a fitness regimen, which covers administrative costs and the rewards they've paid to successful participants.
In addition to savings in health insurance coverage and lost productivity on sick days, perhaps the biggest benefit Rockford has realized from this investment is an increase in productivity and morale. Risk manager Jim Knutsen says there's a new energy and excitement among employees about going to work every day and that does wonders for any workplace.Even though in some cases, senior management leads the mission on health, the reality is anyone can be the catalyst for change within an organization.
