The way we work has transformed. While hybrid and flexible working brings many benefits, they've created new obstacles to building the strong workplace relationships that drive business success:

High burnout rates: Over half of tech workers report feeling burned out due to long hours and high pressure. 57% of tech workers report experiencing burnout, with 62% feeling physically and emotionally drained by their jobs.

Mental Health Struggles: Anxiety and depression are five times more prevalent among tech employees than the general population.

Sedentary Lifestyles: Long hours at desks increase risks from obesity, musculoskeletal issues, type 2 diabetes and other chronic conditions. Notably, remote workers spend an average of 31 minutes more per day in sedentary activities compared to office-based employees.

Culture at a Crossroads: Company culture can't be built through video calls. Our team challenges and races help bring employees and teams together through healthy and positive experiences. 

With 40% of tech employees reporting that their company doesn't care about their wellbeing, the key question is how to transform these challenges into opportunities for building healthier and stronger organisations and companies.

Combat Burnout & Re-Energise: Studies show that regular physical activity can significantly reduce symptoms of burnout. Active Teams provides a structured and motivating way for employees to prioritise their health and find a healthy work-life balance. 67% of employees report an improvement in their mental health during our challenges. 50% of staff report better health and higher energy levels.

Boost Productivity & Focus: According to research, physically fit individuals are better equipped to handle demanding tasks and workload pressures. Active Teams helps your team sharpen their minds and improve their overall performance.

Connect Remote & Hybrid Teams: Virtual challenges create a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose, even when employees are working remotely. 83% of employees participating in our initiatives report improved team cohesion, with 67% reporting high levels of collaboration.

Data-Driven Insights & Progress Tracking: Our platform provides valuable data on employee activity levels and program engagement. This allows you to track progress, identify areas for improvement, and demonstrate the positive impact of your wellness investment.

Investing in wellbeing delivers measurable returns for your business. PwC research suggests an average ROI of £4.17 for every £1 spent on workplace wellness.

For a 100-employee organisation, Active Teams could deliver annual savings of £87,004 and 105 additional productive working days per year.

Reduced Recruitment Costs: Companies with wellness programs like Active Teams see an average 31% reduction in voluntary turnover. One of our clients has seen staff annual staff turnover drop from 20% to 2%! Even with a conservative 50% participation rate, this could save your organisation £71,271 annually.

Reduced Absenteeism Costs: The average UK employee takes 7.8 sick days per year (CIPD 2023). We have helped one digital agency reduce their sickness rates to 73% below the national average.

Active Teams has brought something different to true - a way to get people moving and connecting beyond their day-to-day teams. The challenges really spark engagement and conversation. What's really impressive is how naturally it's become part of our culture.

Whether people are in the office or working remotely, there's always something going on that brings people together. In an industry where we need to look after our talent and their wellbeing, Active Teams has become an essential part of how we do things at true.
