National Workforce Report

Recently released Australia's National Workforce Report stated that 62% of Australian workers were found to be obese or overweight, with employee’s health strongly linked to absenteeism and loss of work productivity. UK research has linked the high cost of health in the United Kingdom and the potential use of natural green space in reducing health costs. For example a daily paced walk in natural green space can potentially save billions of dollars that comes about from obesity and physical inactivity, and any indirect health costs, from diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and absenteeism from work.
