Encouraging a lifestyle with time set aside for fitness is modeled by President Raymond Keough, who created an exercise incentive program at the company. Keough likes to play golf and tennis, and bike and swim. Employees such as architects, engineers, cost estimators and builders are all now reimbursed for their individual exercise efforts.
Some real-life examples have included employees taking advantage of yoga classes, marathon training, Ichiban Karate & Fitness and competitive tennis. According to the company, about 20 percent of employees started participating in the program when it began. Now two-thirds take part.
The latest upgrade to the program? Team members can exercise during the workday if they choose.
A healthy thought:
‘Physical activities … provide a stress relief, a quick boost of energy [and] endorphins.’
Meghan Rogers, Director of marketing, R. Keough Construction Inc.
