Fitness is now available to Monitronics employees all day, every day.
The exercise room has moved to first floor two doors down from the Ouachita Conference Room and includes a treadmill, elliptical machine, two balance balls, work-out and walking videos, stretch bands, hand weights, and a scale. An air bike and recumbent bike will be delivered by Monday and there’s a new Wii Fit that can be checked out from the loss prevention desk on the first floor of the main tower (you’ll need to sign a waiver of liability before checking it out).
This is part of the commitment by the company to help employees meet fitness goals and stay in shape and is one piece of a wellness initiative called “MI Health.”
“MI Health is a targeted strategy to promote a healthy and dynamic work environment [since] part of our company mission is ‘to provide our Monitronics’ team with a positive and fulfilling work environment,’” said Sherrie O’Keefe, director of human resources. “We believe that MI Health will help create an even stronger work environment than we enjoy today.”
As part of MI Health, O’Keefe is sending out an employee survey next week to obtain information about what employees would like included in the program. There is a whole pallet of possibilities and O’Keefe said she wants to start with those that Monitronics employees most want implemented.
