Key Reasons for Fostering Active Living at Work

Key reasons for fostering active living at work include:

  1. It makes for healthier employees;
  2. It helps to improve employee morale and therefore productivity; and
  3. It makes good business sense - healthier, happier employees reduce operating costs, boosting the bottom line and making the business more competitive.

Strong workplace wellness practices, such as giving employees access to physical activity opportunities and stocking cafeterias with healthy food options, are also increasingly important to an organization's ability to recruit and retain the best and the brightest for their workforce.
