Physical Health

CAFO seeks to encourage and help facilitate the physical health of team members. This includes:

• Workday Movement. Recent studies indicate that very little is more harmful to physical health than long periods sitting each day.17 With this in mind, each member of the CAFO team is given a Fit-Bit. Team Fit-Bit contests/challenges each month encourage get-out-of-your-chair movement and build enjoyable team competition and connection. • Healthful workspace. CAFO is willing to pay for a standing desk and/or other office equipment to enable staff to work standing and/or other beneficial alterations to typical sitting-work situations. • Life rhythms. The daily, weekly and annual rhythms described under “Emotion” are highly significant for physical health as well. While not strictly prescribed for staff, healthy patterns of work, rest and play, nightly sleep, Sabbath, and annual vacation all offer profound benefits for the body over time. • Gym membership. CAFO will reimburse staff for 75 percent of the cost of a gym membership, up to $30/month, provided the membership is used at least 5 times per month.
