Therefore, workplace wellness programs need to change along with these shifts in the workplace environment. After all, encouraging more employees to be physically active has social, environmental and economic benefits.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Physical inactivity has a high cost burden to employers \u2014 an estimated $300 billion between 2020 and 2030, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications\/i\/item\/9789240059153\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">global status report on physical activity<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> \u2014 with even more cost if physical inactivity is not addressed. Inability to address physical inactivity will result in increased chronic diseases as well as declining mental health, and higher-income countries like the United States will incur a larger economic burden. Since half of the world\u2019s population is of working age, the cost of chronic disease and injuries could be as much as 4-6% of global gross domestic product (GDP). Unfortunately, these projections may be conservative, and actual costs may be higher.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.humankinetics.com\/view\/journals\/jpah\/20\/1\/article-p28.xml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">recent study<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, people who met physical activity guidelines of at least 150 minutes per week were found to have lower healthcare utilization, with fewer emergency room visits, hospital admissions and primary care visits compared to those who did not meet the guidelines.

It appears that traditional workplace wellness and employer sponsored programs may be falling out of favor following COVID-19. This is unfortunate given the projected economic costs of chronic disease and mental health caused by failing to address physical activity. Some employers may have shifted away from traditional workplace fitness and wellness programs and are now evaluating more programs that look at overall well-being, such as work-life balance, stress management and mental health, as well as promoting flexible physical activity options for onsite, hybrid and remote workers. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Governments and industry may want to collect prospective data on their employee physical activity and well-being so they can analyze their economic impact, especially following changing workplace environments due to COVID-19.
