Hot n' Healthy!

On Tuesday, I was lucky enough to be able to attend an award ceremony where HotSchedules was honored as one of Central Texas’ Healthiest Employers by Seton and the Austin Business Journal.  The event and luncheon were hosted by Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell, and the award was presented by Paul Carrozza, CEO/Owner of RunTex and Chair of the Mayor’s Fitness Council. 

The Healthiest Employer awards program recognizes organizations that are committed to creating a healthy workplace – and HotSchedules definitely qualifies.  For starters, there’s our annual HotFit Challenge – an employee competition that consists of cardiovascular, strength-building and weight loss contests.   Not only do winners receive great prizes, but also the longer term boost to confidence and overall fitness.

 

And although HotSchedules offers employees lots of other great, health-oriented perks, like subsidizing a healthy lunch plan and paying a portion of employees’ gym fees, I admit, I can’t wait for our next HotFit challenge.  There’s no doubt I’ll get completely stomped, but at least it gives me motivation to keep training!
