Active Workplace
How active is your workplace?
Active workplaces are crucial for enhancing employee health and organisational success.
They reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improve mental health and boost physical fitness. This leads to higher productivity, reduced absenteeism and greater employee engagement.
Economically, they lower healthcare costs and staff turnover rates. Active workplaces foster a positive work environment, encourage team building and support sustainability by promoting active commuting.
Overall, active workplaces contribute to a healthier, more productive and engaged workforce, benefiting both employees and organisations.
Here are some great resources to help your workplace get more active:
