The Case for Corporate Wellness
Modern work and home life keep us sitting more than ever. Physical inactivity is now the fourth spot on the list of mortality risk factors, and research shows how harmful long periods of inactivity can be.
Modern society is very different from a generation ago and our bodies are feeling the strain.
Why Excess Sitting Hurts Employee Heath
Studies show that prolonged sitting leads to:
- Lower calorie burn, increased fat storage, and higher risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
- Increased risk of cardiovascular disease. For those sitting more than 23 hours/week, there is a 64% higher risk of cardiovascular disease than those who sat for less than 11 hours a week.
- More pressure on the back and neck.
- Higher levels of inflammation linked to certain cancers.
- Greater risk of anxiety and depression.
And what about workplace stress?
The American Institute of Stress reports that 62% of employees experience high stress and extreme fatigue. Stress adversely affects employee engagement, productivity, creativity, and retention. Employee’s stress directly impacts company performance.
Steko is the first corporate wellness company focused on light group movement breaks that integrate directly into the workday or conference. We help organizations build and grow a culture that prioritizes both mental and physical health impacting not only on the individual but on the organization as a whole.
A 2023 study from Columbia University Irving Medical Center found that taking five-minute walking breaks every 30 minutes resulted in significant reductions in blood pressure and glucose levels, decreased fatigue, improved mood, and enhanced work quality. A rejuvenated mind is a productive mind.
Our name, “Steko” comes from the Greek verb meaning: stand. That is where we begin. Stand, move, and make a difference with Steko.
