Today is National Employee Health & Fitness Day in the United States. But, given the connection between fitness and safety, any day is a good day to spread awareness about workplace health and fitness.

Here are three quick ways you can encourage your workers to focus on health and fitness at work:

1. Coordinate a physical activity for everyone to participate in at lunch hour. Even a simple walk around the block counts;

2. Provide your team with fruit and granola bars as snacks to promote healthy choices; and

3. Incorporate 5-minute daily sessions of stretching and flexibility exercises at the beginning of each shift.
