My company has invited me and my colleagues to get involved. Has anyone else tried it?

I thought you must have a young girlfriend from the title.

And by the way, that's NOT how you normally take a pulse...

I assumed the thread was about an entry from [MENTION=31]El Presidente[/MENTION] 's DVD collection.

Nearly every word on the page on that link makes me want to punch my screen. Holistic, turnkey, wellbeing.

Tell them you haven't got the headspace for it right now and want to concentrate on the low hanging fruit so maybe worth thought-showering it again in 6 months.

Still not sure what it is BTW. Is it a digital version of getting a marble from one side of the room to another using cane and drainpipes? Because if it is, that takes away the only good part - the hotel stay and booze up.

Ah, tis for the wetware, low bandwidth folk ...

I guessed that it would degenerate but was surprised it only reached the third post before doing so

The hotel stay isn't top of my list. During normal life I stay over in hotels 10 plus nights a month anyway and I work for a large brewery so the piss up is a given. Not much going for it really.

My response would be :

We need to bat and ball some abstractions that might be actionable at a later date. Or perhaps mind-fart the living s**t out of this until the perfect bubble rises.

Utter tosh!

To be fair that was pretty good by our standards, I was slightly hesitant to even open the thread

My last company had this as part of the Health Benefits package. You had challenges which gave you points which in our case equalled $$. We got a $1500 payment into our Health Savings Account every year just for being in the program and then got more money for achieving the challenges. Plus all your step count for the day was turned into $ as well. First year, those who had dogs figured out by putting the step counter on the dog all day you could get 40k steps per day. Amazingly we all meet the Step target for the year fairly easy in the year and got even more $. They changed the target in the second year

FFS if you grafted hard enough at work you wouldn’t need all this bollocks, I’m a physical exhausted wreck when I get in most days.
