Jessica founded
HFA in 2012. She saw
agencies were using availability as the guiding
rule for staffing events, and she decided to take a
different approach - staffing based on passion for the
client's products
or services

Polly Dhanani
HR Manager
AKA
The Machine
Polly was our
"early adopter," joining
the HFA team in July 2018
(pre handbooks and direct deposit!). She handles most
of the legal mumbo jumbo related to having employees in 47 states. She says she
loves it. She's crazy,
but we love her.
Chris Weaver
On-Call Manager
AKA The Fire Extinguisher
If things go
sideways on the
weekend, Chris is your
man. He took on the
newly-created On-Call
Manager position in
March 2019. Since then
he's resolved countless
would-be crises.
We think it's
his yoga practice that helps keep him
centered.
Lori Clarke
Sr. Admin Asst.
AKA Early Bird
Lori's encore
career with HFA

She loves our internal and BA team...and the ability to work remotely wherever
the plane lands...which
is often in AZ, where
her first grandchild
lives.

OUR COMPANY'S VALUES
WEEK 1
When you surround yourself with people who share a passion, magic starts to happen. This is why Health and Fitness Activations believes the #1 quality in every employee is a passion for health and fitness. We don’t want brand ambassadors and sales reps who are just there for a check. We want employees who genuinely want to share our client’s message. After all, if you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life.
PASSION
WEEKS 2-5
We stand up for inclusion. We respect people, value diversity, and we believe every person should have a fair opportunity to thrive in our culture. We will not tolerate any type of discrimination. We not only communicate this in all new hire paperwork, client contracts, and pre-event instructions, but we commit to continuous growth in this area by dedicating team meetings to discuss key learnings on inclusion.
EQUALITY
WEEKS 6-24
Integrity, honesty, transparency. These are the building blocks of trust in any organization. However, having these words on a sign (or a website for that matter) isn’t enough. At Health and Fitness Activations we believe that sharing the truth openly, whether it’s good news or bad, is the only way to do business. From the leadership to the brand ambassadors, we expect all of our team members to adhere to these values.
We view each and every task as an opportunity to go above and beyond. Good enough is not good enough. It’s all about providing our clients and team members with the “wow” factor at every turn. Sometimes this is handwritten thank you cards to our brand ambassadors reminding them how much we appreciate them. Other times it’s providing our clients with custom training decks, no matter how big or small the program is.
