Spark workplace productivity and fight obesity with "Meetings on the Move"
Public health experts give tips and discuss benefits of walking meetings
April 6,
2009 -- "'Meetings on the Move' is an inexpensive, easy way to improve health and productivity," says Tim McBride, Ph.D., associate dean for public health at the George Warren Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis. Meetings on the Move (MOTM) get employees on their feet and out of the office environment. "Forty percent of the population are absolute couch potatoes," says Debra Haire-Joshu, Ph.D, and professor of social work at Washington University. "That's almost a learned behavior. You learn to sit at school; you learn to sit at work. What 'Meetings on the Move' really does is get us active like we used to be when we were kids. We can learn then to bring activity back into our daily life, just like we learned to take it out." Haire-Joshu also is the director of the Obesity Prevention and Policy Research Center at the Brown School. Video available.
