Can you point me to any research that looks at the health impacts of telecommuting (e.g., lower obesity rates, improved nutrition, more time spent exercising, etc.)?
While our research on specific health benefits of teleworking is limited, we have found a few resources that may provide insight on the topic. The most beneficial resource included below is Janice Nolen’s (Assistant Vice President of National Policy and Advocacy at the American Lung Association) keynote address at the Fall 2009 Town Hall Meeting. She discussed the health impacts of teleworking and provided a health perspective to the telework conversation. We have also included news articles and other materials that address the health impacts of telecommuting.
