Weight Watchers’ new Beyond the Scale program shifts from a focus on weight loss alone to overall wellness — including emotional and physical health. This augments the best practices information Weight Watchers provides employers through its Weight Watchers Health Solutions program that helps companies make their workplaces healthier and employees more engaged. Part of Beyond the Scale’s holistic approach is a recommendation that employers recognize the importance of giving employees some “me” time (a mental and physical break during a work day). This has been shown to benefit employees’ health as well as the business.
