TourDeFIT.com Unveils Holiday Gift Guide for Businesses
Leading Corporate Wellness Provider Offers Tips on Keeping Employees Healthy and Happy Over the Holidays & Into the New Year
ATLANTA (Nov. 25, 2013) – TourDeFIT.com®, a global provider of evolutionary corporate wellness programs, today announces its list of top five healthy holiday gift ideas for employees. The new list promises to serve as a welcome resource for businesses of all shapes and sizes, especially those under tight budget constraints and year-end pressures who may be looking for ways to foster a healthier workforce over the holidays and beyond.
Jobs, in the form of co-worker and boss tensions and work overload, already represent the number-one cause of stress in America. What’s more, the holidays can bring a heightened sense of pressure, intensifying a health epidemic that already costs employers $300 billion annually, due to stress-related healthcare or missed work, according to the American Psychological Association.
With these statistics in mind, TourDeFIT.com® hopes to inspire businesses to think outside the box this holiday season with its suggested gift ideas for employees.
“While everyone loves wine, cookie baskets or even gift cards, we advise our corporate clients to be more strategic with their holiday dollars,” said Maria Mazursky, founder and CEO of TourDeFIT.com. “Why not give employees the true gift of a healthy holiday through our favorite fitness, travel and wellness-related ideas?”
More and more companies seem to recognize the need to reward employees with a holiday gift. Indeed, more than half of the companies who participated in the 2012 ERC Holiday Practices Survey said they planned to give holiday gifts to employees. TourDeFIT.com hopes to get companies thinking of fitness and wellness-minded gifts, with the following suggestions:
1. Rest and Relax: Combat workplace stress by offering employees gift packages for massages and reflexology treatments, including chair massage, sports massage and Swedish massage via TourDeFit.com. For those looking for a more active form of relaxation, there are also hundreds of studios across the globe that offer yoga class passes which are available through TourDeFIT.com
2. Get Fit: Studies show that about 75 percent of annual weight gain occurs for Americans during the time between Thanksgiving and New Years. Help employees get a head-start on 2014 by embracing a healthier lifestyle before the year ends. TourDeFIT Corporate Fitness and Wellness Concierges can work with local gyms and personal trainers to offer your employees and their families discounted memberships or gift certificates to classes ranging from kickboxing and cardio dance to rock climbing and boot camps.
3. Get Away: Sometimes employees just need to get away to recharge. Consider offering paid time-off to select high performers, along with one of TourDeFIT.com’s adventure travel and wellness packages OR boost employee morale and engagement by holding a company-wide holiday raffle for one of the adventure travel packages. TourDeFIT.com offers discounted deals through partner Tours4Fun, including travel packages to hotspots in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, South and Central America, Africa and the Middle East.
4. Foodie Fantasy: Nutrition and diet play a major role in employees’ overall health and productivity in the workplace. TourDeFIT.com offers nutrition training and testing, online nutrition programs and wellness cooking classes that would have any epicurean enthusiast savoring and salivating.
5. Gadgets and Gear: Encourage employees and their families to use their memberships to TourDeFIT programs by giving them the latest in gadgets and gear to make workouts more fun.
