Improve Engagement, Team Cohesion & Organisational Culture
In today's hybrid workplace, strong collaboration drives success. Yet creating genuine team connections has never been more challenging.
Active Teams transforms everyday movement into meaningful workplace relationships. Whether your colleagues are office-based, remote, or hybrid, our platform creates shared experiences and collective goals that build real team bonds.
We're helping organisations like yours transform daily movement into stronger workplace relationships, better collaboration, and a more dynamic company culture.
Today's Connection Challenges
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:
The Collaboration Gap: Traditional opportunities for teamwork and creating cohesion have diminished.
Breaking Down Silos: With teams working remotely or on different office days, departments are becoming increasingly isolated.
The New Starter Challenge: Integrating new employees has become more complex. Without natural opportunities for social connection, new team members take much longer to feel part of the organisation.
Culture at a Crossroads: Company culture can't be built through video calls. It is simply more challenging to create a strong team culture in a hybrid workplace.
The real question isn't whether to adapt to these challenges - it's how to transform them into opportunities for building stronger, more connected teams.
Active Teams: Your Wellbeing Success Story Starts Here
Active Teams cultivates healthier, more connected teams. From ambitious startups to large multi-site corporates, we've helped organisations across the UK and Europe transform their workplace culture.
Our team brings together expertise in activity and exercise, employee engagement, workplace wellbeing, and communications to deliver programmes that make a real difference.
Building Teams Through Movement
Natural Connections: Something special happens when people move together. Whether it's a walking meeting, teams achieving an activity goal together, or a company-wide charity challenge - shared activity creates natural connections.
Breaking Down Barriers: Activity breaks down traditional workplace hierarchies. Job titles fade away. The Marketing Director and Graduate Trainee become teammates, creating opportunities for connection that would never happen in formal settings.
Inclusive by Design: Unlike traditional team building that often favours extroverts or requires specific skills, movement-based connection welcomes everyone. Active Teams focuses on the time staff spend moving, so every employee can participate at their own level.
Continuous and Sustainable Engagement: Unlike one-off team-building events, active connection becomes part of daily work life. It creates ongoing opportunities for interaction, ensuring workplace relationships grow stronger over time rather than fading after the annual away day.
Return on Investment
Investing in employee wellbeing isn't just good for your people - it 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 with 50% engagement could deliver annual savings of £87,004 and 105 additional productive working days per year.
Reduced Recruitment Costs: The average cost to replace an employee is £30,614 (Oxford Economics), which includes recruitment, onboarding, and lost productivity. Companies with wellness programs like Active Teams see an average 31% reduction in voluntary turnover. Even with a conservative 50% participation rate, this could save your organisation £71,271 annually in recruitment and replacement costs.
Reduced Absenteeism Costs: The average UK employee takes 7.8 sick days per year (CIPD 2023). Active employees take 27% fewer sick days, representing a benefit of 105 additional productive working days per year and an estimated £15,733 saving from reduced temporary staff costs.

- 97% average increase in long-term employee activity and exercise
