Allstate Insurance Company (NYSE: ALL) and GlobalFit, a leading
provider of healthy living programs, today announced the launch of
Destination: You, a program to track and motivate physical
activity, to more than 10,000 Allstate employees nationwide.
The implementation of GlobalFit's Destination: You program
positions Allstate as an industry leader taking progressive steps
to help employees enhance their overall wellness through increased
daily steps. Allstate added Destination: You to its existing
wellbeing program for its track record of high engagement and
measurable results in getting large populations more active.
A results-oriented, step-based activity tracking program,
Destination: You includes online education, workplace motivation,
and incentives to boost activity through realistic goal-setting and
tracking. The web-based program uses activity trackers -- given to
every participating employee -- to calculate their daily steps
taken, distances walked and calories burned. The information is
then uploaded in real time to a personal website that tracks and
manages each employee's physical activity and goals.
"Allstate wants to help our employees get the most out of life,
and that includes encouraging healthy habits," said Ned Kyle,
Director of Benefits at Allstate. "Destination: You complements our
robust wellbeing program by providing both education and the tools
needed to help employees get moving every day. We have been very
pleased with the positive response to Destination: You so far, as
nearly a third of our workforce enrolled within the first two weeks
of eligibility."
"Adopting initiatives that help build practical, healthy
lifestyles allows companies, such as Allstate, to positively impact
employee wellness, corporate culture and healthcare expenses," said
Frank Napolitano, CEO of GlobalFit. "This is a major physical
activity initiative for Allstate, and we are proud to have had our
Destination: You technology selected as a great way to help
employees meet their health goals."
Walking is commonly cited as having the lowest dropout rate of
any form of exercise due to its convenience, cost-effectiveness and
its ability to be incorporated into everyday life. Research has
also shown that walking helps reduce the risk of diabetes, stroke
and heart disease -- all of which are considered serious and
growing health issues within the United States.
