Health and productivity of employees at the workplace are closely intertwined, so it’s small wonder that companies are becoming more aggressive in ensuring that workers are in excellent physical condition. While some may dismiss corporate wellness programs as an encroachment on privacy, business leaders are unlikely to change their mind; after all, they have been hard pressed to find a solution to the rising costs of insurance premiums and health care.

Part Two

When people use the phrase "We're really excited to announce" as an opening line of a press release, blog post, etc. it's kind of one of my pet peeves. To me it kind of says "Hey listen while I talk about myself and how wonderful I am. There will be nothing in it for you. Just me talking about me". It's a very non-original opening and totally over used.

But you know what? Oh well.

WE"RE VERY EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE!!!

Consult your workplace wellness coordinator please.When we first thought up Break pal we really didn't have a lot of idea as to the state of workplace wellness in the US and around the world.

Just watched an interview with the amazing Peter Shankman.

This is the first I've seen of Peter on video but I read every one of his three emails per day (including the ads). I can say without a doubt I read his email newsletter more than any other email I get. Like Peter, it's straight to the point and awesome. If you want to get media exposure it's the best

With the health debate raging on and soaring health care costs a major expense for US companies workplace wellness is fast becoming a focus. With the potential to increase productivity, decrease health care costs, and improve morale companies are becoming very serious about looking for effective workplace wellness solutions.

There are times when 24 hours a day are not enough to squeeze in all that you want to do and all that needs to be done. And when you’re a professional with responsibilities on the job that cannot be put off because you are not your own boss, life becomes that much harder because you’re juggling too many balls in the air. So with your personal and professional lives taking up all your time, you have hardly any to devote to health and fitness. But then, without health, you don’t really have a life.

How do you do at helping others?

Do you generally lend a hand when it's needed?

I can say with certainty that most of you out there using Break Pal can honestly say yes. I know because I've emailed or conversed with most of you in one way or another. I know in general it's a very positive group. (Oh and it might have something to do with how quickly I delete an account when I sense someone who's a real downer :-) )
