“…Second, workplace well-being programmes have an impact on organisational and business aspects, as remarked in the research carried out by Watanabe and Kawakami [23], which highlights that such programmes create awareness and improve access to physical activity both at work and outside of work. These programmes also reduce the perceived difficulty of performing tasks [24]. In this sense, it must be emphasised that most companies are implementing physical activity programmes with little help from the Public Administration, which is obviously a barrier.…”

“…Third, workplace well-being programmes have a positive impact on psychosocial aspects, such as emotional stability, optimism, enthusiasm and psychological well-being [31], trust [32], a greater perception of the ability to control memory [33], the will to work, the feeling of well-being and interpersonal relationships [24], and an improvement in the resilience of employees [34]. Furthermore, Gil-Beltrán et al [11] showed that regular physical activity is required to reduce stress levels, improve job satisfaction levels and make job emotions more positive.…”

Employees’ health is being affected not only by the possibility of contracting COVID-19, but by all the negative consequences that this pandemic has brought, such as confinement, social distancing, and self-isolation. In recent decades, more companies have opted for corporate well-being programmes in their workplaces, improving the health and quality of life of their employees. The effects generated by the current COVID-19 pandemic require these programmes to adapt to this new situation. The objective of this case study is to analyse the corporate well-being programme, in times of COVID-19, of Mahou San Miguel, a benchmark company in corporate well-being in Spain. A mixed method approach to data collection was used. The findings show the benefits achieved in its adaptation to this new physical-virtual environment. This paper could help other companies around the world to adapt their corporate well-being programmes to the new reality brought about by COVID-19.

“…During confinement, it was possible to observe an increase in the offer of digital channels that help the guided practice of physical activity throughout the use of safe, simple and easy to implement programs and applications that cover activities related to cross-fit, yoga or dance activities for the general population or for the improvement of physical and mental well-being in older adults [42]. According to the findings in this successful case study, it can be concluded that it is highly recommended implementing these hybrid corporate well-being programmes, due to all the physical, mental and social benefits it brings to employees and, therefore to the company [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35], even more in this COVID-19 times. This is in line with Núñez-Sánchez et al (2021) [49], who concluded that physical inactivity and increased sedentary lifestyles triggered by Covid-19 and teleworking are having negative consequences for the physical and mental health of employees, which is why it is essential for companies that want to look after the health of their employees, while they work at home, to adapt their wellness programmes to the new situation as soon as possible.…”

“…On the other hand, corporate wellness programmes impact on the employees' physical aspects, improving their muscle tone and general physical condition [26], reducing health risks [27], improving psychophysiological and social parameters related to the relief of musculoskeletal pain [28], decreasing overweight [29], improving the body mass index, body weight, fat mass, cholesterol, fitness and sleeping quality [30].…”

In addition, Gil-Beltrán, Meneghel, Llorens and Salanova [35] showed that, in order to reduce stress levels, improve job satisfaction levels, and make work emotions more positive, physical activity must be performed regularly.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives completely: social distancing, confinement, telework and above all, negative consequences on our mental and physical health caused mainly by increased physical inactivity and sedentarism. Up to 34% of employees were doing telework during lockdown in Spain, and 30% remained working remotely even afterwards. Companies have developed corporate wellness programs that have proven its positive results before the pandemic. The problem with the situation caused by this pandemic is that workers cannot exercise anymore in the workplace facilities, so if they want to take care of their health and well-being at home, they should go digital. The aim of this research is to show how a well-known Spanish fitness company, O2 Centro Wellness, has applied all its digital knowledge to help its partner company, Mahou-San Miguel, to adapt its wellness program into the new reality, developing a successful online corporate wellness program using a fitness app and other social media tools. This case study may help other companies around the world as telework is growing and corporate wellness programs should adapt to this new reality.

Shoe manufacturing companies often use overtime work but neglect the impacts and importance of physical recovery time. Ergonomic methods aim to analyze this, but they focus on deterministic aspects, which limits their ability to evaluate working conditions amid variations over time. This research explores how a simulation model can mitigate these limitations and enhance analysis of overtime and physical recovery on worker absenteeism. The objective was developed a simulation model using System Dynamics (SD) to represent working conditions and assess the influence of overtime and recovery time in Brazil's footwear industry. An Ergonomic Analysis of Work was conducted in a large company's production cell. Using SD, were constructed a causal and simulation model to analyze three scenarios. An additional hour of work increased physical overload by 44%, leading to 5, 4 leave requests, and 48 days of absenteeism per year. Increasing recovery time by 15 min reduced overload to 38,96%, resulting in 4, 9 leave requests and 13,68 days of absenteeism. The SD simulation model mitigated the limitations of ergonomic methods in understanding the dynamic relationships over time, emphasizing the importance of actively managing overtime and physical recovery time.
