Australian researchers suggest paying workers to exercise

Original: Should you be paid to exercise while at work? These Australian researchers think so https://www. sbs.com.au/news/article

Australian researchers are proposing that employees be paid to exercise during working hours, arguing the cost of physical inactivity to Australia exceeds $2 billion a year. A study is tracking health outcomes for workers who take part in paid exercise programmes, and the idea is drawing attention as a possible way to cut long-term healthcare and productivity costs.

Why now: The proposal to pay people to exercise at work is an unusual workplace policy idea tied to new research findings.
