Keller Williams, the world's largest real estate franchise by
agent count, is collaborating with Fitbit (NYSE:FIT), the leading
global wearables brand, to expand its wellness program by offering
Fitbit wearable devices and challenges to more than 157,000 agents
nationwide.
Recently recognized as one of “America’s Healthiest Employers,”
Keller Williams is expanding their wellness program by providing
special pricing on Fitbit devices and organizing activity
challenges at both national and local levels.
Introduced in 2013, the Keller Williams wellness program
encourages associates to live balanced and healthy lifestyles by
ensuring that their physical and emotional well-being are
supported.
“The integration of Fitbit to our wellness program will allow
our associates to compete or work together toward a fitness goal
franchise-wide or within their local community,” said Alex Garland,
wellness manager, Keller Williams.
“We see this as an opportunity to unify our entire company
around a culture of health and wellness, not only across the United
States, but eventually around the world, all made possible with the
integration of Fitbit devices,” said Garland.
Keller Williams will use Fitbit’s program management dashboard
to run Fitbit Challenges, helping associates stay motivated and
engaged on their personal health journeys. Mobile messaging,
real-time tracking and engaging experiences will encourage Keller
Williams agents to work together, support one another and share in
their successes.
In addition to the national wellness program, franchise
associates can design and run custom activity challenges for their
individual franchise communities.
Keller Williams agents will also have access to special pricing
to provide Fitbit devices as appreciation gifts to new home buyers
and sellers at closing.
“At Keller Williams, our commitment to wellness extends beyond
our associates and into the communities that we serve,” said Tom
Freireich, director of business development, Keller Williams. “We
are excited to give the gift of Fitbit to our customers, inviting
them to step into their new home and explore their neighborhoods
the best way possible – on foot.”
Powered by one of the world’s largest health and
fitness databases and social networks, Fitbit’s platform can
help drive positive health outcomes and deliver personalized
experiences, insights and guidance through leading software and
interactive tools.
“This program is a great example of how the power of wearable
technology can be used to help increase employee engagement and
bring communities together,” said Amy McDonough, senior vice
president, strategy and operations, Fitbit Health Solutions. “By
setting up this program, Keller Williams is providing the tools and
resources that could make an impact on the overall health of their
employees and customers.”
