This application would include the following capabilities: - Allow employees to register for company-sponsored recreational programs, such as soccer, softball, bowling, jogging, and walking. - Allow employees to register for company'sponsored classes and programs to help them manage their weight, reduce stress, stop smoking. and manage other healthrelated issues. a Track data on employee involvement in these recreationai and health- management programs. - Offer incentives for people tojoin the programs and do well in them (e.g., incentives for achieving weight goals, winning sports team competitions, etc).
