15 million Canadians spend half of their waking hours at work, so workplace wellness programs are a great way to inspire and support adults to improve their health by becoming more physically active. Workplaces that are “in motion” help employees to achieve health benefits. Employers with workplace wellness programs experience many benefits including higher productivity and morale levels, and lower healthcare costs, absenteeism and turnover rates.
