What is Active Working?
Active Working® incorporates simple 'behavioural' steps to get people standing and moving more often during their working day. The target is to reduce regular office sitting time by a minimum of 2 hours a day by a series of regular activity interruptions which include standing at your desk, standing in meetings, walking meetings and ad hoc movement activities.

In January 2015 Public Health England and Active Working C.I.C jointly commissioned an Expert Statement on the status and impact of prolonged sitting in the office FREE Download A number of core recommendations were published..
