This is so great to see that more and more companies and organizations are starting to realize the positive impact that corporate wellness programs have on their employees.
In for 2024: healthy workplaces! Worksite health promotion is new to the fitness trends list at #2. The average American will spend ~1/3 of their life at the workplace when participating in a 40-hour work week. Employers have an opportunity to encourage health-promoting behaviors (e.g., physical activity and preventative screenings). These benefits often lower insurance costs, increase workplace productivity and improve mental health. Some examples of worksite health promotion include access to fitness facilities, employee athletic leagues, and health education classes.
