Google Fitbit

“It was important for us to put together a wellness program that would actually benefit the employees and encourage healthy lifestyles. We believed that if we kept our employees’ well-being at the forefront, it would drive the program and ultimately have long-term benefits. A healthier, happier workforce has always been the primary goal.”

“We developed our first walking challenge in 2008 and began incorporating Fitbit devices in 2013. The challenge had become so popular that we needed a way to effectively and efficiently track the activity of all our participants since we had outgrown the ‘honor system’ of self-reporting. Since we added Fitbit, we have seen a 58% increase in participation compared to our previous walking challenge. Our employees love the program and their Fitbit devices.”

"As an employer, anything we can do to help employees stay healthy is a win for everyone. It means they are more productive employees—more engaged with their teammates and our clients—and it means they are better able to take part in all the things that are important to them outside of work. And, if we can make it fun through some friendly competition that’s even better!"
