Active Workplaces

Supporting office-based employees to move more and sit less is essential. The resources on this page are a great way to begin supporting their reduction of sedentary behaviour and increasing physical activity in the workplace.

Employees who live active are more productive, have higher moral, and a higher commitment to their employeer. Other benefits to the employer include reductions in health care costs, "presenteeism", and absenteeism.

The benefits to employees include improvements in their physical, emotional, social and financial well being.
