Ireland’s workforce wants to get healthier

Ireland’s workforce wants to get healthier and they believe their employers can play a role in helping them. We asked Behaviour & Attitudes to examine how healthy Ireland’s workforce is and their nationwide research found that:
· Two thirds (65%) of employees who participated in the nationwide survey recognise their need to consume healthier food and drink
· Just 15 percent said their employers provide healthy food choices in company canteens or vending machines.
· Only one third of employees take the recommended weekly level of exercise for a healthy lifestyle
· Four in ten office bound workers say they are not physically active at all during their working day.
