Vashti Ali, Accounts Receivable Representative, beamed and expounded that “This has been the greatest journey ever, and we work for the best company in the world. Garden of Life has changed my life in so many ways, and I just want to help others achieve extraordinary health.” While getting to a healthy weight is important, maintaining that weight is just as vital. So, employees are being encouraged to continue on their wellness journey. There may even be a few surprise incentives for those who maintain their weight loss. The Challenge was not just focused on weight loss but also on healthy eating, exercise and improving overall health and well-being. There was also the added benefit of friendly competition and strengthening camaraderie across departments. Cross-functional teams were formed and each team lead nominated a VIP, who exhibited the greatest support and continuously motivated others. The team spirit continues as groups congregate to do workouts and gather in the café to do shots of SPORT Energy + Focus and Recovery. The company has also continued its partnership with the local Orange Theory Fitness studio and employees love to compare their Splat Points and calories burned. The Get Fit Challenge achieved the goal of helping employees attain an overall healthier lifestyle. Empowering Extraordinary Health ® is more than a mission. . .it’s a way of life.
