As an employer we are trying to provide opportunities to persuade employees that being active is a good thing and that by both promoting and leading a balanced healthy lifestyle this will reduce sickness at work, reduce sluggishness, reduce stress levels and increase overall motivation.
Activities and programmes which have so far been implemented include:
- Health Walks.
- Weight Management Courses.
- Blood Pressure Testing.
- Health Checks.
- Running clubs.
.
Physical inactivity can affect the health of a workforce. Ill health may also contribute to low morale, industrial injuries, high staff turnover and people not feeling 'valued.'
