All Work and No Play
Our recent report into how organisations can promote physical activity in the workplace.
it has made a really positive contribution and has helped motivate colleagues to be more active
Work is often cited as one of the main barriers in enabling people to lead more active, healthier lives. But the workplace is also a great place to promote health and wellness and to encourage and support people to make healthier choices, such as being more active. Commuting to and from the workplace, engaging with colleagues and even doing simple office tasks are all potential opportunities to encourage people to be more active.
All Work and No Play evaluates the Workplace Activator project recently piloted with 17 SME companies in Central London. Key findings include:
- Over the first 6 months of the pilot programme the physical activity, psychological wellbeing and physical health of employees in participating companies increased.
- Employees reported feeling more positive, alert and focused at work as a result of exercising more.
