On July 19, employers have a chance to get in on helping their employees be better workers, require less sick days, and be healthier people overall—by participating in National Employee Health and Fitness Day!

There are really limitless things employers can do to help their employees stay healthy and fit. Though it’s not “their job” to do so, if they choose to, here are just a few ways to get involved.

Provide employees with healthy snack options. If you have vending machines, ask companies to provide at least a few healthy options to choose from. Make sure there is plenty of water on hand at the job—and include a purifier system if you can. When you cater events, make sure the foods offered are healthy and balanced meals.

Keep a few on-site exercise equipment pieces around. Why not throw a jump rope, a yoga mat, and a some hand weights into the break room? (Okay, don’t throw them. But put them on a table or something.) If you have a TV, include a fitness DVD. If someone has an elliptical machine or treadmill they don’t want and you have the space, add it to your décor. Maybe it will even get used!

Start an employee health competition. Think “Biggest Loser.” If that’s too ambitious (or embarrassing), how about a chart detailing daily walks or minutes of fitness activity? Walk as a group during meetings instead of sitting if you can. Offer incentives for most miles walked, such as a small token, a coupon for office supplies, etc.

Create an employee membership to a local gym. Your local gym may offer discounts to companies who join as groups. See how many employees might be interested and then commit to buy the memberships. Either do it all the way if you can, or have employees go in on half the cost. See if there are any tax breaks, incentives, or other bonuses your company can get from offering this kind of benefit; you could always simply make it a perk for new recruits!

Have a company sports tournament. Play softball, go bowling, whatever you like. Host a monthly get-together (during company hours or not, your choice) and have employees play games, sports, and do silly team building activities, such as running in three-legged races. Remember the Olympics Day (or Track and Field Day, etc.) in middle school? Think that, only with middle-aged people in suits. Fun! You can also take photos of the event to use in the company newsletter.
