Moving beyond cubicles: How an active workplace design can drive workers’ behaviors

Activity-promoting workplaces could boost physical activity and reduce sitting time among office-based workers. Yet, there are several gaps in the existing literature on how workplace design shapes behavior. Researchers have identified three significant gaps — the impact of workplace culture, the role of overall building layout on workers’ behaviors, and the need for accurate behavioral measures — to pave the way for future research. Their insights are vital in developing interventions that promote active and healthy workplaces.
