Spending a little too much time either coding that web application or sitting on your duff using all of them as the number of online opportunities for time investment explodes on today’s internet and web?
Our friend, Paul DeBettignies of MNHeadhunter, included Minnov8’s Graeme Thickins on an email, and we thought our readers — many of whom invest significant “face time” with our butts in seats working, playing and interacting with others in front of computer screens — might like to know about this upcoming TV news show segment.
Oberon, LLC and its affiliates SALO, LLC and NumberWorks, LLC will be featured on ABC News’ 20/20 in a story about innovative workplace wellness programs. As you may have heard, Oberon was invited by the Mayo Clinic to be the first corporate partner to test the impact of movement at work on weight and wellness. The story will appear this Friday, August 1st at 9 PM CST on ABC (Channel 5 (KSTP-TV) in Minneapolis/St. Paul).
For six months starting last September, 20/20 producers were in Oberon’s offices to monitor their movements and progress. And move they did. Oberon added treadmill desks to their workspace and conference rooms. Walking meetings became more the norm than the exception.
The company is very appreciative of the opportunity provided by Mayo and Dr. James Levine to include 18 volunteers from Oberon, SALO and NumberWorks in the study. Oberon believes that the Mayo Clinic may really be on to something new in workplace wellness, and they hope you can tune in to the ABC News’ 20/20 broadcast to see the progress that they’ve made since then.
