how a Fortune 500 exec saved money. And made his staff healthier and happier
in the process.
Would you like to discover how American Financial Group VP, Scott Beeken, took
his team on an award-winning wellness ride ... and then apply his proven techniques
to your company? Read
The Wellness Trail case study because ...
Medical costs consume half of corporate profits or more. You know that. You
also know it’s because obesity is growing out of control. Weight related diseases
– diabetes, heart problems and more – are translating into dollars, many dollars,
for your company.
Sure, you can cut employees benefit package in today’s tough economy. That’s
the easy route. But research shows it’s not the effective route. Our online
wellness program gets to the root problem – by developing a healthier workforce.
It worked for American
Financial Group (AFG). It can work for you too.
Scott Beeken is AFG’s Vice President, Benefit Strategy and
Planning. He’s also the 2008 winner of the prestigious Benny Award
for Benefits Professional of the Year. Scott came to us because he wanted to
lower corporate health costs. Together, we got AFG employees walking
the wellness trail – to better health. And
improved company profits.
The results were amazing – a savings of $9.27 for every $1 invested.
People also got to know each other. They felt more committed to their company.
And some marriages got that honeymoon connection back. Imagine that happening
at your company. Or to you.
WalkingSpree was a critical part of AFG’s success.
It can be a part of yours.
We’re an activity-based online wellness program. Unlike other companies, we don’t force you into our pre-assembled corporate boxes. Instead, we tailor programs to fit your goals, your vision. We want two things - for you save dollars, and for your employees save their health.
One of the reasons we’re successful in doing this is that we have the most accurate pedometer on the market – Omron’s USB Pedometer.
It’s easy. And painless. Plug in. One click. Unplug.
With our USB upload, you know that employees aren’t falsifying steps.
Besides counting steps, our pedometer tracks aerobic steps, distance, calories burned, and fat burned. And it stores these figures for 6 weeks!
More than just steps
Besides tracking steps, there’s fun competition, an easy-to-read dashboard, and step counting calendars.
You can also count calories eaten and calories burned, track food eaten, plan diets, and gain nutritional advice. WalkingSpree’s Food Tracker has 65,000 foods including fast food in its database. You’ll discover how many steps you need to walk to burn off a food item or meal. And you can search up to 7,000 recipes.
Employees won’t participate unless it’s fun.
Our program is lots of fun. That’s why AFG had such a high participation rate. And why employees are still signing up – even though the competition is over.
Imagine building team spirit with the “Walk to the Moon” challenge. Or the camaraderie of everyone walking the virtual Discovery Trail.
There’s team competition. Individual competition. Top 10 Walkers. Choose your start time and finish date. First team to the North Pole by Christmas Day? We’ve got that covered.
People achieve more when they are accountable to
a friend.
Our buddy system’s there for a reason. It’s not just fun. The supportive buddy system and our social networking system were a key reason why AFG’s program worked so well.
Real people provide real support. We’re there for you in more ways that just online.
If you run into problems, you can actually talk to a real person - 9AM to 8PM Eastern Time. We believe in old fashioned quality customer support. With us, you have another choice besides anonymous and frustrating email support.
We also stand by our product with a one-year warranty on our pedometer.
We reduce your workload, not add to it.
We’ll help you design a program to maximize participation and then help you market it too. Company branded marketing materials help you prepare and launch your program. We’ve got posters, payroll inserts, Getting Started Guides, Administrator Guides and much more. We even have pre-written (and pre-tested) email messages you can send your employees.
We don’t stop when your company campaign is
over.
We keep your employees motivated with our own challenges. We’ll also help you design the new campaign to keep them engaged. Again and again with fresh new ideas.
Invest in a customizable turn-key solution for small, medium or the large employers.
Add your brand identity. Control what messages welcome your employees. What contests are promoted. It’s your program run your way. Secure – with several levels of administration, privacy and access.
Your Corporate Health Report Card lets you know the effectiveness and success of the program.
You too can do what AFG’s Benny Award-winner Scott Beeken did when he picked WalkingSpree as his company’s online wellness program provider.
Start improving your employee's health and reducing your company health costs.

Our WalkingSpree Walk to the World Series Challenge has gotten the employees up and walking. The competitive juices are definitely flowing. Our employees gather at the bulletin board or check our intranet site every week for the latest inning scores. I guess we have a game going! |

We are having so much fun that everyone seems to have forgotten that we are actually exercising … I have never seen so much motivation or so many steps by our employees. |

I will admit I doubted it would be powerful. I really enjoy walking with my friends at work, the fun we have trying to pass each other, as well as my walks around our town at night. As of today I have lost 14 pounds, and I really do feel much better. |
