At iMoveFor, our journey begins with lived experience across borders — shaped
by years of working in the development sector in India, Cambodia, South Korea, and Canada, across public health, policy, and community engagement. Through
this path, one truth remained constant: the
workplace is more than just where we work — it’s where we live, grow, connect,
and often struggle.

Today’s professional environments are facing a quiet
epidemic. According to the World Health Organization
(2021), sedentary
lifestyles at workplaces are directly linked to a 20–30% increased risk of
cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and certain cancers. In parallel, mental health challenges
are rising — with 1 in 2 working adults globally
likely to experience a mental health condition in their lifetime (World Economic Forum, 2023).

We believe that the workplace
is our extended community — a space where
connection, trust, and belongingness are not luxuries, but essentials. As the World Economic Forum highlights, the #1 predictor of employee
wellbeing isn’t free coffee or yoga mats — it’s a deep sense of connection and
belonging at work.

Movement is our response. Not just as exercise, but as a science-backed catalyst for mental clarity, emotional balance, and social connection. Research from Harvard Medical School and the Canadian Mental Health
Association (CMHA) shows that even 20 minutes of light movement can significantly reduce
stress hormones, boost mood, and improve interpersonal engagement. Shared movement at work — walks, stretch breaks, or mindful motion
— creates more than health: it builds relationships,
empathy, and shared culture.

With this belief, iMoveFor was created — to help organizations and communities reconnect with
the power of movement for impact. We support workplaces in integrating behaviorally
informed movement routines, embedding wellness policies, and cultivating
environments where people don’t just work — they
thrive.
