Where can I find information on employee fitness programs or workplace fitness programs?
The Institute published two reports based on the 1992 National Workplace Survey. One deals with physical activity programs, the other with health issues more generally. On contract from Health Canada, the Institute also produced a series of booklets on three key aspects of workplace life: Absenteeism, Influencing employee health, and Juggling work and family. These three booklets can be browsed in their entirety on Public Health Agency of Canada Web site. For other information about physical activity in the workplace, see the Business Case for Active Living at Work at activelivingatwork.com or contact Kathleen Dugas at the Fitness/Active Living Unit of Health Canada by e-mail at Kathleen_Dugas@hc-sc.gc.ca or by telephone at (613) 941-0377.
