INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY
By combining micro-breaks with stretches that target the parts of the body most effected by sitting at a desk all day The Movement can save your company from the growing financial burden of inactivity related injuries and illnesses.
1. PREVENT AND REHABILITATE THE NUMBER ONE FASTEST GROWING WORK RELATED INJURY: OCCUPATIONAL REPETITIVE STRESS INJURIES (RSI'S)
- One in every three workers' compensation dollars pays for RSIs.
- In all, insurers awarded an estimated 2.73 million workers' compensation claims for RSIs in 1993, costing employers more than $20 billion.
- Indirect costs to employers are estimated to be five times that amount — $100 billion. One major insurance company estimated the individual cost per claim to be $8,000, or double the average claim for other injuries or illnesses.

- 75% of all healthcare costs directly stem from preventable chronic health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.
- On average employers spent an estimated $18,000 per employee per year for all costs related to health and productivity due to illnesses.
- Employees at high risk for heart disease and stroke have significantly higher medical expenses (228% for heart disease and 85% for stroke) than employees not at risk for these conditions.
3. INACTIVITY RELATED CONDITIONS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LARGE AMOUNTS OF ABSENTEEISM AND PRESENTEEISM
- Each year an estimated 39 million work days are lost to obesity related conditions.
- Carpal Tunnel syndrome leads all other causes of lost workdays.
