Transforming Employee Wellbeing Through Exercise and Movement
Do you want to boost employee wellbeing and workplace connections in a way that genuinely engages your people? Do you want to help prevent employee health issues before they even arise?
Extensive research conclusively demonstrates that consistent physical activity and exercise are the most powerful preventative measures for both physical and mental wellbeing - outpacing all other interventions.
Active Teams helps you build a prevention-focused culture where movement, connection, and wellbeing become part of your organisation's DNA. Our unique approach consistently boosts employees' physical activity and exercise levels by a game-changing average of 97%.
Today's Workplace Wellbeing Challenge
The landscape of workplace wellbeing has shifted dramatically. With hybrid working, increased screen-based workloads and increasing staff sickness and isolation, organisations face unprecedented challenges:
- Since 2020, staff absence rates have surged by 34% (CIPD)
- £51 billion annual cost of poor mental health to UK employers (Deloitte)
- The average UK employee is sedentary for 9 hours per day (NHS)
- Staff who work at home spend 31 minutes more sedentary than office workers (National Library Medicine)
Most workplace wellbeing solutions are reactive, they attempt to address problems once they become a problem. But what if you could prevent mental and physical health issues before they impact your people and your business?
