Lippert is launching a new “Take the Step” health and wellness program to provide team members resources to improve or maintain a healthy lifestyle.
The company stated the overarching message behind the program is “everyone matters.” The effort is to encourage team members to become more aware, knowledgeable and proactive regarding their health and wellbeing, Lippert stated.
“I am confident that this will really make a profound impact on so many of our team members in the coming years,” company President and CEO Jason Lippert said. “The health and wellbeing of our team is not only critical to our success as a company, but most importantly, it is implanted in the culture we have created. If we can educate and get our team members healthier, healthcare costs can go down for everyone. Not to mention, it will promote healthier habits and lifestyles for us all, helping make us mentally sharper, feel better, and become the best versions of ourselves for our teams, family and friends.”
Take the Step has a three-fold structure to educate, engage and empower team members. The goal, the company stated, is “motivating them to take baby steps toward better health.” The program contains several resources, including nutrition and movement programs, team challenges, preventative screenings and an increased mental health focus.
“With this new project in place, Lippert leaders hope to get everyone started on a new, unified journey toward optimum health and wellness from which all team members can benefit,” the company stated.
“I am so incredibly excited to be a part of this initiative,” said Lippert Director of Health and Wellbeing Jaime Murphy, who will spearhead the program. “Lippert has provided the foundation for this program to be a success by developing a culture dedicated to caring for all team members. Accessibility in the workplace, prevention and intervention with education will collectively allow us to support each other as we all take action steps to better health. We cannot wait to get started.”
