Effective strategies for

increasing physical activity
and promoting healthy eating
in the workplace

Effective types of physical

activity strategies to
implement include
Providing prompts to encourage stair
use;
Providing access to places or
opportunities for physical activity; and
Providing education or peer support.

Effective types of strategies to

address nutrition are those that
modify the food environment
This includes food labeling;
point-of-purchase promotions; and
providing access and improving
availability of healthy food choices such
as in canteens and vending machines.

There is also evidence that the following

approaches are important elements of
effective multi-component interventions
that target physical activity, nutrition, or
both
providing counselling or individual
behavioural skills training;
involving workers in program
development and implementation
