Our Approach
Our approach is to increase employee’s health and well being through a unique programme of physical activity, education, training and behaviour modelling which results in the desired behavioural change.
A number of factors play an important role in employee’s participation in physical activity.
These are:-
Motivation
Confidence
Ability to exercise
There are a number of reasons that employees do not participate in physical activity and these include:-
Lack of knowledge
The belief that exercise is unnecessary
Negative attitudes towards exercise.
Though our unique approach we motivate and increase the individual’s confidence in their ability to exercise.
Through education, coaching and behaviour modelling we:-
Increase their knowledge of the benefits of good nutrition and exercise
Give them the tools and techniques to enable them to managing their pressure and stress more effectively
Challenge and change their negative perceptions
Create positive attitudes towards exercise and psychological well being to enable permanent behavioural change
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is to make nutrition; exercise and focusing on well being, fun, engaging and motivational to reinforce the positive exercise experience and improve feelings of well being.
We are able to adapt our programme to align with your organisational culture and values and to individuals differing abilities and needs.
We also evaluate the programme outcomes in terms of improvement in employees health and psychological well being, after programme completion to provide return on investment figures for your organisation.
Some arguments against
We can’t afford it
Can you afford not to? Sooner or later, avoidable physical and psychological health
problems will prematurely end the careers of valued employees.
Time off for physical activity will reduce productivity
Research indicates that in fact the reverse is true: healthy employees work harder and produce more.
None of the other employers in the area are taking part in physical health and well being programmes
Why not take the lead? Companies around the world are becoming more interested in the health of their employees, which would not be the case if there were no advantages.
