Why physical activity?
Physically active workers take 27% fewer sick days (Employee Benefits).
Moving more and taking part in regular physical activity can help us to maintain our wellbeing at work.
Being active is also a powerful stress reliever boosting our mood and mental clarity, which in turn can create a more positive workplace culture.
“If physical activity were a drug, we would refer to it as a miracle cure, due to the great many illnesses it can prevent and help treat.”
Chief Medical Officer, 2019
