Provide access to showers and lockers

Rationale: Access to showers and lockers supports physical activity during the day, encouraging active commutes and increasing the likelihood of employees engaging in physical activity before, during, or after work hours — contributing to reduced risk of cardiovascular conditions, obesity, and diabetes.

For the most accurate strategy and documentation requirements, please refer to the digital scorecard made available on the Fitwel Platform.
