GetActive2gether
GetActive2gether (GA2) will help you design and implement policies focused on physical activity, as well as help to change your worksite, community based or faith based organization's environment to include more opportunities for physical activity during the work day, meetings or in service. Making these changes may increase productivity, decrease absenteeism, form stronger social connections between co-workers or members and affect the overall health of your employees and members in a positive way.
