Suntiva Launches Employee Wellness Program
FALLS CHURCH, VA, January 6, 2011…Suntiva, a trusted advisor to leaders in achieving their most critical business outcomes, announced today that it has launched a new Employee Wellness Program, open to all Suntiva employees. The mission of the Suntiva Wellness Program is to promote workforce health and productivity by offering accessible and tailored programs that use proven offerings and the latest advances in fitness, nutrition, wellness and health management. Suntiva has hired Melissa Dow, a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)-certified person trainer and wellness expert, as a dedicated Wellness Coach and leader of the initiative. This multi-faceted program includes employee reimbursement for a wide range of wellness expenses, from gym memberships and equipment to sports leagues, event entry fees, nutrition/diet programs, and other wellness-based activities. The program also provides employees with regular wellness information and updates on the latest fitness information, nutrition tips, and health management advice through the company intranet portal.
Suntiva’s Wellness Program includes regular competitions and events to encourage participation, and links to the company’s corporate giving and charitable donations programs. The first initiative, called Run to the Sun, groups employees into teams as they log Wellness Miles for a wide range of wellness-related activities, from exercise to diet and healthy lifestyle choices. For the first team to “reach the sun” through their total wellness miles, Suntiva will make a charitable donation to the children-based charity of their choice. All participants in the program will receive Run to the Sun sport shirts and will also be entered to win regular drawings for prizes and other charitable giving.
“We are incredibly proud of our new Wellness Program, both in terms of the benefits to our employees and in its benefits to the local community through a linkage to our charitable giving initiatives,” said Dr. Hany Malik, Suntiva’s Chairman and Founder. “Plus, it’s an incentive for me to keep going to the gym as well!”
“After 20-plus years in the fitness and wellness industry, it’s exciting to focus my energies on a large, connected community of employees like Suntiva,” stated Melissa Dow, Suntiva’s Wellness Coach. “I truly believe that this program will return enormous benefit not only to Suntiva employees, but ultimately to the company and to its local communities as well. Suntiva’s leadership is truly committed to its motto of Great Minds, Great Hearts, and Great Health!”
