Active Workplaces

Active Workplaces

With 60% of our waking hours spent at work, and up to 75% of our time sat down, it can be difficult to find time to get active. Physical inactivity costs the UK economy over £100 billion per year, through sickness absence, reduced productivity and health-related losses. Encouraging your employees to become physically active can have numerous benefits for your business:

  • Reduce sickness absence - active employees take 27% fewer sick days on average
  • Increased productivity
  • Reduce staff turnover by up to 16%
  • Boost morale
  • Improve employee satisfaction
  • Increase company/business profile
  • Reduce business travel expenses

We are here to support employers to change the culture around workplace activity and identify opportunities to get active throughout the working day.
