Abstract
The health of employees is currently considered by companies as a resource that allows them to ensure the growth of productivity, efficiency and competitiveness. It is well known that office workers spend most of their working time in a sedentary state, which contributes to a sedentary lifestyle that increases the risk of developing diseases and disabilities. The gradual decline in cardiorespiratory fitness among adults, along with an increase in the number of non-communicable diseases in developed countries, makes the workplace an important opportunity to promote a healthy lifestyle. Progressive, well-managed, responsible companies are ready to implement employee wellness programs within the framework of corporate social responsibility. Companies have opportunities to develop strategies to encourage employees to take a responsible attitude to their health at the workplace and in the process of performing their official duties.
