Risks to the health of obese employees have implications for the workplace,
but an awareness scheme aims to tackle issues at the early
stages. Occupational Health magazine details an evidence-based programme
for weight management in the work environment.

management. Evidence shows that 70% of those who attend will lose weight
and not put it back on after 12 months.
