KEY INFO
In Europe +200min people are physically inactive.
The health costs related to sedentary behavior amount to 80billion euro per year in EU28.
Europeans spend large time of their daytime at work, that can be the most suitable setting to engage people in physical activity.
Physical activity at work is good for employees in terms of health, wellbeing and stress reduction, but is good also for company’s productivity, absenteeism and turnover reduction, better reputation, talent attraction, increased motivation and social inclusion.
However, only 13% of active people do it at work and the number is still the same since 2013.
