Abstract
This paper considers the rationale behind the introduction of workplace exercise programmes, and provides a brief review of their benefits. Many efforts towards their evaluation have been inadequate, largely because of a lack of methodological rigour and failure to consider such programmes in their wider organizational context. The evidence to date largely supports the view that for individuals, employee exercise programmes may confer significant benefits-more so for their physical health than for psychological well-being. The evidence for benefits to organizations remains promising but largely inconclusive.
