Chicago and Minneapolis -- Extending its partnership, global health and wellness company Vitality Group will now offer Return to Work Solutions from HealthFitness, a leading provider of corporate fitness center management, injury prevention and treatment, and wellness services.

“Two years into the pandemic, employers continue to grapple with how to create and sustain a healthy physical workspace for their people,” said Tanya Little, Chief Growth Officer at Vitality Group. “The Return to Work Solutions from HealthFitness helps employers address this problem by providing safeguards for employees on site. If this experience has taught us anything, boosting employee health is our best route to sustained business performance.”

In addition to the Return to Work Solutions, Vitality will also make available two other employer resources from HealthFitness: Access to the Mental Health FIRST AID® certification course from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, and digital, telephone and on-site health coaching related to health and wellbeing and tobacco cessation efforts.
