All you need to know about Health in the workplace
Looking after our wellbeing when we are in work is vital to living a long and healthy life
Did you know?
11.6% of deaths are caused by sitting too much. Standing every 20 minutes and moving more often can make you live longer.
Why is workplace health important?
The workplace can affect the physical, mental, economic and social wellbeing of workers and therefore offers opportunities to improve health. To realise the health benefits of work and accelerate the prevention of chronic disease, employers need to extend their agenda to include health and wellbeing and employees need to consider their health whilst in the workplace.

Success Stories
Running has been so good at maintaining my stamina and physical/mental health and being out in the fresh air is a definite plus. The countryside and areas that you run become place you notice and enjoy, so when you discover something this good the benefits need to be shared.

We joined to find out how to be healthy as a family, the information, recipes and teachers were very good. This is a fantastic and lifestyle changing club for young children.

This has had an impact on my son’s learning, but also on his behaviour as well as he does not get frustrated all the time. I have also realised the food we ate did not help as we had takeaway on most nights, but now I cook fresh meals which has had health benefits for both me and my child as we are starting to lose weight.

I joined Eat4Health because I needed to lose weight and needed support to do so. I have tried other weight loss programmes in the past which would normally begin well but they never really taught me to change and do exercise they just told me what to eat and what not to eat but not why. I eat more fruit and vegetables and am more aware of my calorie intake and the need for physical activity. My blood pressure has lowered along with my BMI. I would recommend this service to others to make changes for life not just a few months.
