Weight management and an active lifestyle are key to preventing obesity, a "lifestyle illness" linked to numerous chronic diseases. We offer programs to help employees make sound nutrition choices, exercise and manage their weight.
Walking
Offered at most U.S. sites, a 12-week program called Walk This Way encourages participants to walk at least 10,000 steps (approximately 5 miles) per day through planned workouts and routine activities, such as gardening and shopping. The program includes a pedometer to log daily steps, motivating weekly e-mails and prize drawings.
Weight management
The Your Weigh ... Together weight management program has been in place for five years at all U.S. locations. The program consists of 10 weekly sessions that address the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. It includes nutrition, physical activity and behavior-change coaching; a participation incentive; high-tech tools such as BalanceLog software; and group support.
Activity centers
TI has on-site fitness facilities at some sites to encourage physical activity and give employees access to a discounted gym membership. Our fitness facilities offer activities such as:
- Personal training sessions.
- Group exercise classes.
- Athletic leagues and tournaments.
- Family swimming, lap swimming and swim lessons.
- Group water exercise classes.
- Kids' camps during school holidays focused on increased physical activity, building good eating habits and healthy lifestyle education.
- Massage therapy.
The facilities offer incentive programs and attendance contests to motivate employees and family members to stay fit. Each center is staffed with fitness specialists who can answer questions and help individuals attain their goals.
Nutrition
Employees, retirees and dependents have access to a specialty network of registered dietitians, who are experts in preventive nutrition and medical nutrition therapy. These dietitians provide individualized nutrition counseling to help participants reduce health risk factors, prevent disease progression, and improve quality of life.
Cafeterias
TI cafeterias conduct and provide nutritional analysis of healthy items, as well as healthy eating tip sheets. To build employee awareness of healthy food choices, our Color Matters campaign labels food according to its nutritional value: green indicates good, yellow indicates satisfactory and red indicates poor. Many cafeterias serve hormone-free and antibiotic-free meats.
