Active Workplaces

We spend up to 60% of our waking hours at work. This makes the workplace a great place to introduce new habits and routines that boost health and well being.

In the UK:

  • 8.9 hours average time British people sit per day
  • 1 in 4 do less than 30 minutes exercise a week
  • People are 20% less active now than in the 1960s
  • 131 million working days lost per year
  • 53% long term absence caused by stress
  • 4.4 days lost per worker due to sickness absence

Having an active workforce can support your business by:

  • Reducing risk of more than 20 chronic diseases
  • Workplace wellness programmes can reduce absenteeism by 42%
  • Reduce the risk of depression
  • Boosted external image of the organisation
  • Increased networking & communication between employees and departments
  • Boosted company morale
  • Improved relationship between staff & employer

We have developed a workplace health programme which can be tailored to the needs of your business which includes health and wellbeing support and Workplace Challenge events.
