Addressing Needs

Occupational health management, with exercise programmes for improving the cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal systems, can increase job performance. Occupational health aims to promote and maintain the physical, mental and social well-being of workers in all occupations and is concerned with the relationship between health and work.

The availability of efficient fitness training programmes at work, offered by dedicated trainers/professionals, can decrease sickness absence and reduce the duration of absences. So it pays its tributes to public health and therefore to the goals of international sustainability.
