Ask HN: Does your company have an employee health & well being coordinator?
2 points by j2bax on April 8, 2013 | hide | past | favorite
Hi HN, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in having someone coordinate employee health programs for their startup or small tech team. My wife is incredibly talented, well organized and highly knowledgeable as it relates to human well being and health. She has a biology degree and a masters of health science. She is also a certified personal trainer and an educator of 6 years.

I've been wondering if many startups have any sort of employee well being programs in place and if this is possibly something she could do remotely with occasional travel. My thoughts are that startups would benefit greatly from having someone that could help employees make good health choices and encourage them through incentive plans, programs and awareness campaigns. Considering the long hours at the office/computer chair I know first hand that it is easy to fall into a sedentary lifestyle when focusing so hard on work. A healthy team is ultimately going to be a much more effective, efficient and happy team.

Any thoughts or suggestions for how my wife could get into something like this would be greatly appreciated. I could see this as a contract position for multiple companies or a full time position for a slightly larger team.
