Booklist Review

A detailed examination of company-sponsored health and fitness programs and facilities, this book is aimed at business executives and managers considering such programs. Statistics and surveys prove that healthy, fit employees are more productive and more satisfied; and many businesses are recognizing that an environment that reflects corporate concern about employees' health is a beneficial commodity. Based on interviews with numerous corporate managers and others, this well-organized account examines fitness trends in the labor market, lists criteria for effective fitness programs, offers a procedure for assessing the quality of fitness and wellness programs, and discusses future trends. The final section profiles fitness opportunities and specific programs offered at more than 50 U.S. companies. For large public library business collections. Index. --Sue-Ellen Beauregard
