Veritas workplace seminars and support focus on three key goals:

• Increase the proportion of employees who engage in regular activity.

• Increase the proportion of employees who maintain a healthy weight.

• Reduce the number of musculoskeletal injuries at work.

Here’s a closer look at the rationale behind these goals:


Increasing activity


Inactive people can improve their health by becoming even moderately active. Regular activity:

• Reduces risk of premature death

• Reduces risk of dying from heart disease

• Reduces high blood pressure and the risk of developing high blood pressure

• Reduces risk of developing colon cancer

• Helps control weight

• Helps with the health of the musculoskeletal system

• Reduces feelings of depression, anxiety and improves mood

• Promotes worker productivity
  

Increasing the proportion of adults that are a healthy weight

• Obese employees tend to miss more work because 80 percent of obese individuals have one or more of the following: diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, gallbladder disease, high cholesterol and osteoarthritis.

• The healthcare cost is more than $50 billion annually.

• The productivity loss is more than 39 million days of work.

• The good news is that a sustained reduction of just 10 percent starting body weight yields significant health and economic benefits.

Reducing the number of musculoskeletal injuries at work

• Low back problems and repetitive motion disorders significantly contribute to the list of nonfatal injuries in the workplace.
