On Your Feet Britain – 24th April 2025

Are you planning to wiggle it and waggle it on the 24th April 2025?

If you are interested in getting your desk based employees up and moving around, you might like to consider running the 'On Your Feet Britain' campaign. 

Why do we want to get our workforce moving? Well employees who are more active are more productive, take less sick days, have a reduced risk of musculoskeletal conditions, have better sleep, manage stress and anxiety better, just to mention a few of the benefits!

Take a look at the On Your Feet Britain website for more information and ideas about getting your employees moving. 

Mental Health Awareness week - 12th-18th May 2025

This years theme is community. How do you create community within your workplace? Do you incorporate an inclusive workplace, with open communication and access to health champions? Do you host specific community networks such as menopause, young employees, LGBT etc.
