Download or read book Tackling Workplace Obesity written by Vandana Singh and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following a steep rise in its healthcare cost, GlobalMinds Consulting Pvt Ltd, a San Francisco-based consulting firm hired Prime Fitness Management to start on-site mandatory wellness programs for its employees. Employees at large were reluctant and considered this to be intrusive. However, fearing penalties, employees began participating in the program. Tim, an obese Senior Consultant who had been with the company for the past four years, came under huge pressure. He suffered from high blood pressure and cholesterol problems. Lately his medical compensation claims had started rising and frequent absenteeism was also being brought to his notice time and again. However, his obesity never affected his work. He had been a good consistent worker. With this new health drive life for Tim got harder. His participation in the wellness program did not help. Three months had passed and he had shown close to no improvement. The consistent nagging from his health coach and stress to reduce weight began affecting his morale. Mike, HR head of his company told Tim that he was being penalized for not meeting medical screening requirements. His employee health insurance deductible was raised from $500 to $1250. One of Tim's colleagues was rewarded with a $2500 cash prize, Tim felt disheartened, feeling that the company was not being fair to him. The pedagogical objectives are: (1) to analyse ethical issues involved in tackling workplace obesity; (2) to analyse ethical implications involved in changing employees' lifestyles by using incentives and penalties; and (3) to understand the role of both management and employees in making corporate wellness programs successful.

Download or read book Is Your Job Making You Fat written by Ken Lloyd and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only thing that should be fat on your job is your paycheck. There is a “huge” worldwide obesity problem. While fads and quick-fix diets abound, they fail to address an important question in weight gain today: is your job making you fat? The answer is “Yes.” This bold assertion is based on a great deal of global research that continues to confirm a compelling relationship between working and weight gain. The powerful link between the workplace and the waistline is due to numerous factors, including the sedentary nature of today’s jobs, the onslaught of unhealthy foods that are constantly foisted upon employees, higher levels of job stress, longer and more demanding work hours, peer pressure, new and unconventional jobs, and even more. Put it all together and you have the perfect storm for weight gain. Is Your Job Making You Fat? not only identifies and analyzes all of the central sources of weight gain associated with work, but also provides highly effective steps to control this ever-expanding problem and help you lose weight. Authors Ken and Stacey Lloyd offer a new approach where you apply your businesslike mindset and skill-set to weight management. After all, at work, you have a plan that includes objectives, benchmark dates, strategies, priorities, deadlines, and measurable results. This book shows you how to use this same methodology to take charge of your weight.
