Here's What Office Workers Need to Get Healthier

from Game Plan · host Bloomberg

From smoking-cessation programs to step challenges, companies do all sorts of things to push employees toward getting healthy. Why? Sick workers are expensive. If companies can create healthier workforces, they save tons of money on health insurance costs. These efforts have helped spawn a $6 billion dollar corporate wellness industry, but they aren't really working. People don't care enough to participate, and many wellness initiatives don't have a good return on investment, studies have found. Is there a better way to stay healthy at work? Joanna Frank, the founding executive director of the Center for Active Design, joins Game Plan to talk about a growing movement to create workspaces that quietly manipulate workers into healthier behaviors.
