Did you know that more than half of adults in Newfoundland and Labrador are not getting enough physical activity? In fact, only 49% get at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week and 88% of adults in Canada are sedentary for eight or more hours per day.
To encourage people to think about moving more while at work with the goal of improving overall health and well-being, the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts and Recreation, in collaboration with ParticipACTION, has created an Active at Work Toolkit.
Active employees have improved brain function, better quality of life, improved sleep behaviours, and improved physical and mental health. This leads to increased productivity, more meaningful employee interactions, lower injury rates, and reduced absenteeism in the workplace.
