With more than one-third of U.S. adults considered to be obese, International Game Technology PLC is taking a proactive approach in helping its employees live healthier. From free, on-site fitness centers to photo contests of pets being active, the gaming company in Providence has gone all-in on wellness.

IGT is tackling obesity with a new, 52-week weight-loss program called Real Appeal. Employees receive a free interactive kit that includes nutritional guides, workout videos, a blender and weight scale. They can also monitor their progress online, view weekly celebrity videos and interact live with a personal wellness coach to drive healthy behaviors.

“Weight is something that everyone is interested in,” said Susan Eikinas, senior benefits manager. “We really wanted to focus on something that would make an impact.” •
