    What you reveal at work : personal details for your profile on health and fitness

    April in health and wellness month at our workplace. (Bike to Work Day is 2nd wk. in May for our city.)
    For 1 wk., I will be profiled as one of the employees for my health and fitness, etc. Info. and photo (I don't know which one they will choose) of me will appear on the corporate intranet's front page and could be viewed by over 8,000 employees.

    The original profile style will switch to a question and answer article. I will see the questions early this week. I already light-heartedly told the communications person that some questions I may not answer/well because it may be convoluted/too long. I'm beginning to wonder about this....I don't always eat lunch, I haven't joined any social clubs/organizations.

    The schtick about me is that might distinguish my health/fitness habits from some other employees, is that I have lived and cycled in 3 major Canadian cities in 3 different provinces of our country. I know what it means to live in a walkable, cycleable neighbourhood because I've made the choice for all these cities. Also for me to be car-free for last 30 yrs., especially in Calgary/prairie city, is quite unusual --judging from the shocked responses from long-time locals.

    What would you reveal about yourself if you were profiled by your employer for health and wellness?


    NB: Other employees they've showcased: a police officer who jogs regularily and volunteers for past few years for Special Olympics (mentally disabled); a long-time arbourist who loves fishing; an HR supervisor who's trying to lose a lot of weight, etc.
