Alex Fenton, an innovator based in the University of Salford Business School in the U.K., has developed a new wellness app that is designed to empower business, employers and corporations to go about playing a more proactive role in the health and well-being of their workers.
The 'FanFit' app is based on a previous version of the platform that was designed specifically for supporters of sports teams. Now, the latest and greatest version of the app gives companies the ability to inspire their employees into attaining improved physical and mental wellness by enabling them to track their steps and organize good-natured competition with one another.
Given the fact that a healthy and happy employee is a productive employee, it's apparent that the 'FanFit' app will appeal to employers who want the people who work for them to attain their potential inside and outside the workplace.
