Bill Howe Family of Companies Begins Company Fitness “Boot Camp” in Ongoing Wellness Program
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 15, 2013 -- The Bill Howe Family of Companies is one of San Diego’s largest low-cost plumbing, heating & air conditioning and restoration & flood services companies. Family-owned and operated, they have dedicated themselves to creating an environment focused on its employees and community providing excellence and integrity in all daily operations. As part of their mission to their service plumbers in San Diego, CA, Bill Howe initiated a comprehensive wellness program beginning in 2013.
Together with BARR Workplace Wellness, the San Diego AC repair and plumbing company has set up an action plan that will carry them into the 2014 year. Beginning with safety and ergonomics in the workplace in the first quarter and transitioning into “know your numbers” this summer, a full biometrics screening for all employees, Bill Howe has also added an ongoing event rotation led by the Bill Howe Wellness Committee designed to encourage and interest all employees to participate. Events include volunteering, hiking at the newly reopened Cowles Mountain, employee-run and sponsored soccer games and the official Bill Howe Boot Camp, which began Wednesday July 10 and will be held each Wednesday through July at nearby Serra Mesa Park.
The Bill Howe Fitness “Boot Camp” is an all-level high intensity workout aimed at providing a jumpstart into a fitness routine. Since Bill Howe’s plumbers in San Diego, CA are in a labor-intensive job, being fit is important to preventing injury and building stamina and proper muscle. The “Boot Camp” is modified to represent the very active and fit as well as newcomers who may not have ever worked out before. It is led by Bill Howe Wellness Committee member, Victor Tapia and Brad Gamson, BARR Workplace Wellness Coach. In its first session, the Boot Camp was a success with 15 people in attendance and some family members joining as well.
“It is very important to create a culture of wellness,” said Tina Howe, Vice President of the Bill Howe Family of Companies. “By focusing on the health and happiness of our employees and trade service men and women, we are also spreading this through our local community and the families of our employees.”
