91. Business travel
Business travel is often associated with a number of negative health outcomes such as self-reported poor health, obesity and an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Research from the World Bank indicates that business travel is associated with higher total medical claim costs, the highest increase attributed to psychological disorders related to stress.
This feature aims to reduce the physical and mental stress associated with business travel by promoting policies that provide opportunities to maintain a fitness regimen, as well as to help protect healthy sleeping habits and personal relationships.
