BRP – Spruce Pine, located on Greenwood Road, produces foam molds and aluminum castings through a lost foam process for engines for some of BRP's line of Recreational Products, such as the Sea-Doo and Sport Boats, and Evinrude Outboard Engines, as well as for outside customers in the construction, rail, trucking and automotive industries.
Last August 25th, BRP began its first Biggest Loser contest with six teams of three to six members representing about 25% of all employees. Overall, 228 pounds were lost, but far and away the Biggest Losers were the winning team from the Maintenance Department with a drop of an astounding 154 pounds by the final weigh-in on November 11th. Their "before" and "after" pictures tell the story of proper eating, running the trail around our facility, and participating in our "Walk Across America" challenge for which we provided a pedometer for any employee that wished to participate. One employee who participated only in that challenge took more than one million steps from August to November.
Our second Biggest Loser contest ran from January 20th to March 17th this year with 12 individual and 4 team entries. Our winning individual lost almost 11% of her body weight in the eight weeks of the contest.
Up next, beginning May 5th are Biggest Loser III and our Million Step Challenge. We're excited to see everyone getting ready for summer, and look forward to a healthier, fitter, workforce.
