Work based activity schemes are being made available to educate & motivate staff to becoming a healthier workforce with the aim to reduce sickness. This can be achieved in many different ways, through the promotion of:-
- Active Daily Living. This is where the staff is encouraged to use stairs instead of lifts, walk or cycle to work, get off the bus a stop earlier.
- Working with local Wakefield Metropolitan District Council Leisure Centres to develop sessions at the times that staff want to participate in physical activity.
- Office Challenges such as inter office step-o-meter challenge, office games e.g. such as 5 a side football, lunchtime walks or baseball.
