Worksite wellness program to stand and move more
This study tests a workplace program designed to help employees sit less and move more by using stand-and-move practices at work. It may help reduce long periods of sitting, and it also studies how to set the program up successfully at worksites.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Most of your workplace staff work full-time (30+ hours per week).
- Your worksite has at least 45 desk-based employees using sit-stand desks at least 3 days per week.
- You agree the researchers can send online surveys to all employees to evaluate the program.
- You agree that some selected employees can wear an activity monitor for short 7-day periods over up to 2 years.
- Your worksite agrees to be assigned randomly to the program or not.
- Your worksite has not recently used a similar “sit less and move more” program in the past 24 months.
