Get Your Employees Physically Active with Fit-N-5
Are You Creating a Physically Active Workforce?
Whether your workforce operates primarily remote or hybrid, staying physically active on a consistent basis can be a barrier for your employees. According to the Centers for Disease Control(CDC), only 24.2 percent of adults over the age of 18 meet the 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. The physical activity guideline recommends that adults do at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous cardiovascular activity combined with resistance training activities at least 2 times per week.
The Benefits to Physical Activity are Numerous
The health benefits of regular physical activity for your employees include, improved sleep, stronger bones, weight loss, improved mental and emotional health, decreased risk for costly chronic diseases like diabetes or hypertension and overall improved health outcomes. As a company, when your employees are physically active, you create the opportunity to increase employee productivity, company morale, decrease absenteeism or presenteeism, save on healthcare and improve the retention rates of qualified talent.
Costs Associated with Physical Inactivity
Although there’s numerous benefits of a physically active workforce, there’s also risks associated with sedentary (in-active) employees. In their latest report, The World Health Organization (WHO), stated, “Almost 500 million people will develop heart disease, obesity, diabetes or other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) attributable to physical inactivity, between 2020 and 2030, costing US$ 27 billion annually.
The Statistics for Physical Inactivity are Alarming
- When it comes to fitness, only 24.2- 23% of US adults meet the federal physical activity guidelines
- Physical inactivity is directly responsible for $333 billion in health care costs
- 70% of the $3 trillion we spend on healthcare is due to unhealthy lifestyles
- Many chronic diseases share common behavioral risk factors such as tobacco smoking, unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, obesity, and alcohol use.
The economic burden of physical inactivity affects families, communities and businesses. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), “Each inactive employee costs his/her employer, on average, an additional $1,313 dollars per year over more physically active employees.”
As a company, have you experienced the financial burden of inactive employees?
