The amount of work time lost each year due to sickness and the extent of the costly complications of employees who are not so efficient due to tiredness/poor concentration caused by unhealthy lifestyles influenced by working long hours at repetitive tasks in sedentary occupations, are as great as they are costly to businesses and their clients.

Office workers are especially prone to such problems, which can be considerably diminished by Tai-Ji and Qi-Gong practice in special forms appropriate to the working conditions of such employees. Prevention is always far better than cure.

An experienced professional person doing a specialist task at work, if they are forced to be away sick for even a few more days in the year than an equivalent person who is healthier due to a correct health and fitness regime, will cost the company he or she works for much more than paid sick leave. Healthy employees are crucial for efficiency and cost-effectiveness in business of all kinds.

Tai-Ji and Qi-Gong are increasingly being seen as the ideal form of exercise for those working in offices and sedentary occupations.
