Overview

Obesity is a growing problem – the Office for National Statistics last year reported that 24% of the adult population was now considered obese, up from 13% for men and 16% for women in just two decades. For employers, the rising trend of obesity in the workplace represents an extra set of challenges, all of which will be explored in this month’s webinar. Our presenter, Graham Baldwin, will cover the impact of obesity on the workplace, the legal view, and dealing with obesity in the 30 minute free session.
