The number of #FitPwC participants has increased over the past 2 years, a good indication that we are on track with our goal to make a positive impact on our people’s wellbeing.
To track the success of #FitPwC, we sent out a survey to all our participants, asking them if #FitPwC had helped improve their fitness, and whether it encouraged them to exercise more and lead a healthier lifestyle.
We estimate our active and unique participants to be 84 people (an increase from 45 people in FY16). Of this pool, 37% (equivalent to 31 employees) said that participating in the various programmes helped them reduce sick leave by one day a year. A day less of sick leave for 31 employees is estimated to generate about RM11,288* in savings for the firm.
We recognise we have to invest more time and effort to impact our people on a wider scale. Which is why we launched #FitPwC in our regional offices (Penang, Ipoh, Melaka, Johor Bahru) in 2017, ensuring our colleagues there can benefit from the programme too.
We also plan to take full advantage of the step count feature on our recently launched flexPoints app, by incorporating it into #FitPwC. We will share progress on the app’s usage in our FY18 reporting.
