Employers Suggested

• Most felt that no matter what was done, those who
  were already health conscious would continue to
  eat well and those who were not would continue to
  eat unhealthfully

  witness positive changes in the lives of their
  peers

physically active at work

• Offer activities before, during, or after work
• Assuming space/facilities and time were given to
  employees to engage in physical activity at work,
  most felt it would be a costly liability if
  someone was injured
• It is best to have a physical activity program
  either run by an outside group or led by
  employees for employees
