Top Tips to encourage Health and Wellbeing in the Workplace

Employers that recognise and prioritise the wellbeing of their employees, create an accessible and positive workplace. Having a clear understanding of the health risks in your organisation and being able to proactively address issues can futureproof your business and lead to significant productivity benefits.

It is well documented that a healthy diet reduces people's risks of developing illnesses and health conditions that can lead to time off work. Eating well also boosts the immune system, reducing people's recovery time from illnesses such as colds. Healthy foods are also more nutritious and deliver energy in a sustained way over a longer period - resulting in increased concentration and greater productivity.

Your employees spend a significant proportion of their time at work and therefore it’s important to encourage and promote healthy living within your organisation.

Try adopting the tips below:

• Provide fruit bowls

• Stock vending machines with healthy snacks

• Create a community that enables employees to share healthy living ideas

• Encourage team walks or activities that include moving

• Have shared goals – a sponsored bike ride or run so teams can train together.
