Human Resources is excited to be a part of Southern on the Move!  Encouraging exercise and activity in the workplace can be vital to having happy, productive employees.  By becoming a more active and health-conscious community, our faculty and staff morale and productivity will increase and healthcare costs will be reduced.

Take a look at these shocking statistics, and you will see why physical activity is so important to SCSU:

  • Obesity costs American companies $12.7 billion each year
  • 60% of Business Roundtable CEOs cited healthcare as their number 1 cost pressure
  • 70% of the entire burden of illness and associated costs in the US are from preventable illnesses
  • You will gain about 2 hours of life expectancy for each hour of regular exercise
