- http://www.wsj.com/articles/memo-to-staff-time-to-lose-a-few-pounds-1418775776?KEYWORDS=fitbit http://blogs.wsj.com/personal-technology/2015/01/22/kinetic-desk-tells-you-to-quit-sitting-around/?KEYWORDS=fitbit Some are offering employees wearable fitness trackers and competitions on social apps, covering weight-loss surgeries and drugs, and providing mental-health counseling designed to get at the emotions that may underlie eating issues It is unclear whether companies can do better, or whether they will save money by doing so. At retailer L.L. Bean Inc.’s Bangor, Me., call center, biometric screenings determined that nearly 85% of employees were overweight or obese. The company enrolled 24 employees in a yearlong pilot program of exercise classes, nutrition coaching and emotional counseling, all provided during paid work hours. By the end of the year, participants had lost 15 pounds on average. The company has since brought a 16-week version of the program to other locations, with similar results, says Susan Tufts, manager of occupational health and wellness. The numbers explain why. Getting obese employees to normal weight, or even overweight, would save employers an average of 9% of the money they spend on health care or lose in productivity due to employee sick time, says economist Tatiana Andreyeva at the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University. Wearable activity-tracker Fitbit Inc. says enterprise work for customers such as BP PLC and Anthem Inc., the large health insurer and managed-care provider, is one of the fastest-growing areas of the business.
- http://www.wired.com/2012/04/fitness-tracker-psychology/ http://sleeplesspsyche.co.uk/2013/12/29/the-psychology-of-fitbit/ Why they work delves into two important facets of activity: measurement and motivation. To know whether you’re getting better at something, you need data. As physicist Lord Kelvin said, “If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it.” Once you’ve got data, you need specific goals or standards to provide the sense of accomplishment that will make you work harder. “By having this sort of equipment and this sort of technology, it allows you to actually track and look back to see how active you actually are,” Bartholomew said. “You can’t lie to yourself.” He found the stats and aura of competition attractive, and Fitbit’s social element has pushed him to make healthier choices Time Magazine states that Fitbit “Makes getting in shape as addictive as checking Facebook and Twitter.” With fitbit if your personal goal of achieving 10,000 steps a day is achieved, you feel proud, so of course you want to show off to your friends and compete. This is where the social aspect comes in. It is as rewarding as being given a tasty treat, and just as Pavlov’s dogs learned to respond to the bell we Fitbit users learn to repeat the behaviour in order to keep on receiving the reward, quickly becoming addicted to the little gadget.
- Note: “Tackling weight loss raises thorny issues at the office, and employers are working hard to avoid being seen as targeting certain workers. About 71% of employers representing 600,000 workers said that overcoming stigma and embarrassment represented the biggest hurdle to an effective corporate weight-loss program, according to an October survey from the Northeast Business Group on Health.“People who are overweight are so judged, and you just don’t know what they’re dealing with or what other issues they have,” Ms. Tufts says.”
