Most working adults spend
half or more of their waking hours on the job. So
this is an opportune place to promote the healthy
behaviors that prevent disease. Studies also
show that a person’s productivity, absenteeism, and
decision-making at work are related to that
employee’s health status. There are simple,
uncomplicated things that an employer can do to help
foster a work environment that supports employees
making healthier choices.
