With the millennial generation expected to make up 50 percent of
the global workforce by 2020, ensuring the well-being of
millennials will be important to improving workplace productivity.
According to the survey, about 66 percent of Asian millennials,
those born between 1980 and 2000, get less than 30 minutes of daily
physical activity at their workplace which includes standing,
stretching and walking. Additionally, 71 percent said they would
become more active if it is part of their company’s corporate
culture.
“While most millennials want to lead healthy lives, they face
real obstacles at work,” said Frank Lamberti, Herbalife senior vice
president and managing director, North Asia. “At Herbalife
Nutrition, we provide employees our nutrition products at work,
subsidize gym memberships, hold regular wellness programs related
to nutrition and well-being and encourage participation in outdoor
activities and sports competitions.”
The survey findings also revealed that:
- 7 in 10 millennials strive to live
healthy, active lives, compared to 6 in 10 for the older
generation
- However, the majority of millennials
find it challenging to maintain an active lifestyle at work – 9 in
10 millennials spend 6 to 13 hours at their work desk each day, and
66 percent of millennials (compared to 59 percent of the older
generation) get less than 30 minutes of physical activity -
including standing, stretching and walking at work on an average
work day
- Additionally, 56 percent of them cited
the “lack of time” as the key obstacle to engaging in physical
activity at work
To provide tips on how millennials and their employers can
integrate positive nutrition and life style habits at their
workplaces, Herbalife Nutrition has organized a sixth Asia Pacific
Wellness Tour. Five experts from the Herbalife Nutrition Advisory
Board (NAB) are scheduled to tour 21 Asian cities to appear at
talks, workshops and medical symposiums from October 7 to 30. The
last five tours welcomed over 100,000 participants.
“Through these efforts, we hope to equip organizations and
employees with the right tools to collectively build a healthier
work environment across Asia Pacific,” said Stephen Conchie, senior
vice president and managing director, Southeast Asia,
Herbalife.
Each of these events will see the Herbalife NAB members sharing
their views on a range of health-related topics, including weight
management, brain health and aging, metabolism, sports medicine,
sports science and nutrition. The Herbalife NAB members will also
be sharing expert advice on how millennials can adopt simple
positive nutrition and lifestyle habits at work to improve their
overall well-being in the long run.
