Companies are putting increased value on offering health programmes to enhance physical activity which provides numerous health benefits, yet little information is gathered how such an offering should be designed to secure or increase employees’ acceptance.

The question “Which factors influence usage of a work-site health programme and how can usage be increased?” was raised to identify reasons and benefits of implementing a work-site health programme.
