Though it cannot be said with certainty that such workers are more productive, tentative evidence suggest that this may well be the case. A useful service of a smart office or work environment is to contribute to the health and well-being of those that inhabit such spaces. One practical approach to this is to monitor the exercise that employees engage in during the day, and using this as a basis, motivate them to engage in further physical activity. In this paper, issues relating to monitoring employee physical activity are explored.32110 bytesapplication/pdfenPervasive healthExerciseExercise--TestingEmployees--Health and hygieneWork environmentConference Publication10.3233/978-1-60750-056-8-329https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/
