Food for thought Snacks to keep you going. Not weigh you down As a technoworker part of staying healthy is not carrying unnecessary weight on your muscleskeletal system. When technoworkers are overweight you increase the weight, force, and pressures acting on your muscleskeletal system. I wish to highlight three facets for you to consider when you are formulating your company's program. People are not machines.
People are too often resistant to change.
You are asking your employees to adopt a totally new approach to their daily work.

The simplest avenue to pursue is employee participation.
