Employee health and wellbeing
The health and wellbeing for employees workshop is designed to support businesses in improving the overall health and wellbeing of their employees, providing essential tips and strategies to ensure a smooth transition into later life and maintain a healthy workforce.
Ill health is a major factor causing people to leave the workforce early. Providing health and wellbeing support can be a valuable retention tool and help dispel myths about age, health, and older workers. Supporting employee health is a positive strategy for an organisation, offering multiple benefits to both the organisation and the individual.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) state: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
As we work longer or move into active retirement, maintaining our health becomes crucial. Our research found that 78% of us spend our time sitting at a workstation with little or no physical activity as part of our routine. Two out of five adults do not meet the minimum requirement of physical activity. A sedentary lifestyle increases all causes of mortality and doubles the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and obesity. This one-hour workshop is an opportunity for you to make changes to your overall health and wellbeing.
Topics include:
- Health and wellbeing challenges and concerns
- Taking action
- Physical and mental wellbeing
By attending this workshop, employees will:
- Gain an understanding of the importance of health and wellbeing in later life.
- Learn practical strategies to incorporate physical activity into their daily routine.

Our workshop provides independent and impartial information to help employees build confidence and move towards a healthier and more fulfilling retirement.
