Physical Activity in the Workplace
Over half of adults don’t meet physical activity guidelines, increasing their risk of chronic disease. With many spending a third of their lives at work (often sitting) it's no surprise activity levels are low. Supportive workplace programs can help people move more and sit less.
Workplace activity boosts employee health, energy, focus, and reduces stress and sick days. For organisations, it means higher productivity, lower healthcare costs, better retention, and a stronger workplace culture. Promoting wellness also enhances reputation and innovation.
