Physical Activity

Promoting Physical Activity in the Workplace NICE Guidance provides advice to employers and professionals on how they can help improve health in the workplace by promoting physical activity.

People who are employed are estimated to spend 60% of their waking hours at work, so it is an ideal place to encourage staff to be physically active. A healthier committed workforce is vital to business success. The attached document aims to help organisations put physical activity on the business agenda by quantifying some of the benefits and costs.
