Autosoft takes steps to decrease healthcare expenses, increase productivity

WEST MIDDLESEX, Pa., August 12, 2016 – Autosoft has been recognized as a Platinum-Level Fit-Friendly Worksite by the American Heart Association for helping employees eat better and move more.

“Physical activity and employee wellness are important priorities at Autosoft. We are honored and excited to be recognized by the American Heart Association as a Platinum-Level Fit-Friendly Worksite,” said Autosoft President and CEO, Bryce Veon. “We’re committed to providing the best workplace environment possible to benefit our employees’ health and produce even more positive results for our worksite overall.”

Platinum-level employers:
• Offer employees physical activity options in the workplace
• Increase healthy eating options at the worksite
• Promote a wellness culture in the workplace
• Implement at least nine criteria outlined by the American Heart Association in the areas of physical activity, nutrition, and culture
• Demonstrate measurable outcomes related to workplace wellness

The Fit-Friendly Worksites program is a catalyst for positive change in the American workforce by helping worksites make their employees’ health and well-being a priority.

“The Fit-Friendly Worksites Program offers easy-to-implement ways for organizations to help employees eat better and move more, which will help improve their health—and their employer’s bottom line,” said Autosoft HR Director, Richard Seger. “Even people who haven’t exercised regularly until middle age can reap significant benefits by starting a walking program. A study published in 1986 in the New England Journal of Medicine found that some adults may gain two hours of life expectancy for every hour of regular, vigorous exercise they performed.”
