Desk workers sit, on average, three quarters of their workday putting their current and future health and wellness at risk. This presentation will summarise the current evidence regarding the impacts of prolonged sitting, the effectiveness and acceptability of workplace interventions targeting sitting less and moving more, and the impacts of sitting less and moving more on indicators of health and wellbeing. The panel will also showcase the BeUpstanding program – an online workplace health initiative already taken up by over 900 work teams across Australia – and summarise the key learnings and recommendations for employers and employees.
