Sanitized Company TA Lifestyle Challenge report 2016Regine du Plessis
The document summarizes the results of a 12-week employee wellness initiative at Company TA aimed at reducing risk factors for diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Key findings:

- Results improved over the 3 years the initiative has been run, with 2016 showing the best reductions across all measured risk factors. Continued focus on lifestyle and diet is recommended to achieve further benefits.
