The concept of introducing sports in corporate programs to support a healthy lifestyle of employees of the enterprise
Abstract
The relevance of improving the health and well-being of employees, as well as the amount of time that modern people spend in the office, is beyond doubt, which makes it necessary to develop programs for improving the health of employees in the workplace. This not only affects the productivity of employees, but also makes them feel good in all areas of life, including work. As the labor market evolves, one of the hallmarks of a first-class employer will be the quality of its workplace wellness program, which in turn will enable successful HR policies and retain talent. The events associated with the coronavirus pandemic that the global community is facing have challenged the health system and have once again confirmed that the issues of health protection and prevention concern everyone. This article presents how large companies use corporate programs to promote the health of employees as a tool to improve the longevity of work, the quality of life and well-being of employees. It is noted that modern corporations strive to create a favorable working environment for their employees. Corporate programs mean a set of measures taken by the employer to improve the health of employees and improve the microclimate in the team, in order to prevent diseases, improve the safety, productivity and efficiency of the organization’s employees.
