The report, ?Asia Pacific Millennials At Work Survey,? was sponsored by Herbalife Nutrition and covered 5,500 respondents aged 18 and above from Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines,.

Millennials, or those people born in between 1980 and 2000, are opting for a workplace that will encourage them to stay active, if only this will be embedded in every company culture, the survey found.

About 83 percent or 8 in 10 millennials have agreed that they would like their company workplace to adopt a healthy and active lifestyle.

With the millennial generation expected to make up 50 percent of the global workforce by 2020, ensuring the well-being of millennials will be important to improving workplace productivity, the report said.

?There are about 35 million millennials now in the Philippines, which is about one-third of the country?s entire population. Five years from now, millennials will be dominating the labor force. While most millennials want to lead healthy lives, they face real obstacles at work in doing so,? said Rosalio Valenzuela, Herbalife Philippines general manager.

Additionally, the survey findings revealed the following:

? Seven out of 10 millennials strive to live healthy, active lives

? However, the majority of millennials find it challenging to maintain an active lifestyle at work ? eight out of 10 millennials spend 6 to 13 hours at their work desk each day, and 64% of millennials get less than 30 minutes of physical activity — including standing, stretching, and walking at work on an average work day.

? Additionally, 64% of millennials cited the ?lack of time? as the key obstacle to engaging in physical activity at work.
