Get Moving at Work Kits
Submitted by editor on Fri, 03/14/2008 - 07:57.
Research by Medibank has shown that healthy employees are three times more productive than unhealthy ones.
Similar research has shown that unhealthy people take 18 days of annual sick leave, compared to just the 2 days that healthy people take.
As a result of this, the state of Tasmania in Australia has began to kit its workforce out with a 'Get Moving at Work' kit.
This kit has already proved successful for Zinifex Rosebery mine, which won an award for Best Workplace Health and Wellbeing Program.
Prior to joining this program, absenteeism cost the company 8 to 10 per cent of all labour costs. Furthermore, musco-skeletal injuries were contributing to 42 per cent of workplace injuries.
Since implementing the promotion of healthier living, these costs have been greatly lowered. Furthermore, the company has seen a transformation in its culture, specifically through increased morale and team work.
How highly does your company value your health and the health of your colleagues? How could you set about creating a healthier mentality at work?
