Physical health is a vital component of overall wellbeing—and, unfortunately, 75% of adults do not meet recommended physical activity guidelines, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This deficiency not only represents a significant risk in the vitality of our workforce but also has a ripple effect that impacts overall employee wellbeing.

Today’s workers are expected to perform at the top of their scale to support ever-increasing levels of innovation, customer service and agility —in a time when their wellbeing has been increasingly challenged. Employers therefore have powerful incentives to support physical health and wellbeing so employees can thrive, personally and professionally, driving business performance and results.
