At SparkPeople, it won't surprise you to learn, we encourage our employees just as much as we encourage our members. That same philosophy, of healthy living, making your life an adventure, and setting small goals en route to larger ones, is embraced by all of employees, from Founder Chris "SparkGuy" Downie right on down to our newest hires. We aren't just in the business of healthy living; we're also living that way. Many of SparkPeople's employees have been here from the start 10 years ago, but most of us who've joined along the way have left corporate jobs and hectic careers where work-life balance and healthy habits weren't supported and, in some cases, were outright discouraged. SparkPeople's Tami Booth Corwin is a great example of how much we truly value the very habits we advocate. She's a wife, mother, and also SparkPeople's President. Despite having two young children and a busy schedule, she always makes time for fitness and healthy eating, something that just wasn't possible when she worked in publishing. Recently, Tami's journey back to healthy living--and the incredible path that led her to SparkPeople--was featured on the blog Work Goes Strong, by Susan Crandell. I do hope you'll read the blog post; it's a great chance to learn more about the talented team that runs SparkPeople, many of whom work behind the scenes. (And be sure to read our popular "Behind the Scenes at SparkPeople" blog series.) Does your job make you happy and healthy? If not, how do you fit in healthy habits? |
