Start with a Workplace Warm-Up Program

Employ Health’s Dynamic Warm-Up and Stretching Program is designed to get employees moving, reduce the risk of injury, and prepare them mentally and physically for their day ahead. This program is customised to your business’s requirements and integrated with your workers routine. It is simple and requires just a few minutes but can make a significant impact on overall well-being.

Benefits:

  • It’s fun and gets your team moving 
  • Enhances flexibility and reduces injury risk.
  • Improves mental alertness and focus.
  • Builds a sense of team collaboration as employees start their day together.

Launch an 8 Week Challenge

An 8 Week Challenge, incorporating education on health and nutrition paired with weekly fitness sessions, can bring your workforce together to make sustainable behavioural changes to their lifestyles. 

8 Week Challenges Include:

  • Personal assessment of pre and post challenge metrics for each worker

Schedule Regular Group Exercise and Personal Training Sessions for your Workforce

Scheduling regular group exercise sessions creates a routine that employees can look forward to and supports ongoing behavioural changes your workforce have made.. Additionally, offering personal training sessions can provide tailored guidance for employees with specific fitness goals or health needs.

Options:

On-site group exercise classes, such as yoga, pilates, or circuit training.

Personal training sessions focused on individual goals, such as strength, flexibility, or cardiovascular health.

Virtual fitness sessions for remote employees to join and stay connected.

Create designated walking paths or standing meeting areas.

Organise lunchtime walking clubs or fitness challenges.
