The in motion Workplace Wellness program, is one of the ways by which we hope to promote the benefits of an active lifestyle to employees and their families. Studies have confirmed that there are many benefits to be gained by employers and their workplaces through the promotion of physical activity and wellness. The benefits include decreases in absenteeism, reductions in annual turnover, reductions in medical care costs, and increases in productivity. Therefore a big part of bringing company costs down and keeping satisfaction up is to keep employees healthy in the first place.

As the large majority of adults spend most of their daily lives in the workplace, workplace wellness is one of the key priority areas of in motion. By promoting physical activity in the workplace, we hope to teach people the importance of physical activity and encourage employees to incorporate physical activity into their daily routines
