WHY HAVING A COACH IN YOUR BUSINESS?

​

In the United States, it has been shown that $ 1 invested in sport saves $ 3 in health expenses.

France is following with more and more companies that use a coach at the workplace for the well-being of their employees as well as the company.

​

MSDs are expensive for the company Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the most common occupational diseases.

They cover a wide range of pathologies affecting muscles, tendons or nerves. The back pains come first and then the upper limbs (shoulder, wrist, elbow) and finally the knees.

These TMS include tendinitis, low back pain, cervicalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, epicondylitis and other bursitis. The professional activity exercised plays a role in the aggravation of these disorders, which are recognized as occupational diseases.

They account for more than 80% of being off work, which leads to 8.4 million lost workdays, or 784 million euros of expenses covered by corporate contributions.

Sport, through the adoption of adequate postures and its general muscle strengthening, inevitably has a role to play for the health of the employees.

​

Stress and sedentarity:

Two factors harmful to the health of the employees and the company. According to a survey of 2002 public and private sector employees, work is an important stress factor. The work overload and the pressure of the hierarchy are, in part, responsible. In order to decompress, these employees "snack or eat more" (44%), "smoke" (22%), and "take sedatives or anxiolytics" (15%). Another important fact is that 30% of them feel the need to "play sports" to decompress. Here again, here is an interesting track reinforcing the idea that the sports coach in business inevitably has its place, especially when we know that the sedentary lifestyle is the 4th leading cause of death in the world according to the World Health Organization.

Demand is strong among employees since 65% of the French population play sports at least once a week. Being so attached to their sport session, we perceive a physical interest but also psychological. The French are not only doing sports to improve their silhouettes, they are deeply in need to feel better.

 

The benefits of sport in companies are scientifically proven! If you still wondered about the usefulness of a coach in your company, we hope that these arguments will take you to the next step for the good of your employees and their productivity.
