Herbalife Nutrition At Work Survey Reveals Filipino Millennials Desire Healthy, Active Workplace Environment
PHILIPPINES, Oct. 27, 2016: Herbalife Nutrition, a global nutrition company, has released the findings from its Asia Pacific Millennials At Work Survey which revealed that Filipino millennials are adapting a healthy, active lifestyle, however, most believe their current workplace environment prevents them from doing so.
Millennials, or people born in between 1980 and 2000,
are opting for a workplace that will encourage them to stay active, if only
this will be embedded in every company culture. About 83 percent or eight in 10 millennials have
agreed that they would like their company workplace to adopt a healthy, active
lifestyle.
With the millennial generation
expected to make up 50 percent of the global workforce by 2020, ensuring the
wellbeing of millennials will be important to improving workplace productivity. “There are about 35 million
millennials now in the Philippines, which is about one-third of the country’s
entire population. Five years from now, millennials will be dominating the
labor force. While most millennials want to lead healthy lives, they
face real obstacles at work in doing so,” said Rosalio Valenzuela, Herbalife
Philippines General Manager. “At Herbalife Nutrition, we provide our employees with
nutrition products at work, subsidize gym memberships, hold regular wellness
programs related to nutrition and well-being, and encourage participation in
outdoor activities and sports competitions.”
Additionally, the survey findings
revealed the following:
· Seven (7) out of 10
millennials strive to live healthy, active lives
· However,
the majority of millennials find it challenging to maintain an active lifestyle
at work – eight (8) out of 10 millennials spend 6 to 13 hours at their work
desk each day, and 64% of
millennials get less than 30 minutes of physical activity - including standing,
stretching and walking at work on an average work day.
· Additionally, 64% of millennials cited the “lack of
time” as the key obstacle to engaging in physical activity at work.
To provide tips on how millennials
and their employers can integrate positive nutrition and life style habits at
their workplaces, Herbalife Nutrition has organized a sixth Asia Pacific
Wellness Tour, which builds upon the successes of the past five tours that
welcomed over 100, 000 participants.
Five experts from the Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board (NAB) are scheduled to
tour 21 Asian cities from October 7 to 30, to hold a series of talks, workshops
and medical symposia across the region.
“Through these efforts, we hope to
equip organizations and employees with the right tools to collectively build a
healthier work environment across Asia Pacific,” said Valenzuela.
Julian Alvarez Garcia, M.D., Ph.D., a
member of the Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board, will be visiting Manila for
the Asia Pacific Wellness Tour this October. Julian Alvarez Garcia, M.D., Ph.D.
will also be sharing expert advice on how millennials can adopt simple positive
nutrition and lifestyle habits at work to improve their overall well-being in
the long run.
Some of the tips to help foster a
healthier millennial workforce include:
· Nutrition
o Dedicate
a healthy eating day each week and get colleagues involved in making healthy
choices for lunch on this day.
o Boost
water intake to help the body digest food, rid the body of toxins, and help
deliver nutrients to the cells. Drink at least eight (8) glasses or two (2)
liters of water a day.
o Have
a protein shake combined with non-fat milk and healthy fruit for breakfast.
With 20-30 grams of protein and low-fat contents, it can provide the body with
all the nutrition it needs to power through the day.
· Active Living
o Create
a playlist that incorporates upbeat music and play with hourly intervals.
o Use
Running Apps to keep energized and on-pace during regular runs.
o Set
a goal to join running competitions to motivate self to sustain an active
lifestyle.
Herbalife’s Millennials At Work Survey was conducted in 2016,
with 5,500 respondents aged 18 and above, from Australia, Hong Kong, India,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and
