Working towards a healthier workplace:

Why not try to make some small changes in your workplace to improve health, such as:

• Encourage staff to commute on foot or by bike to increase physical activity levels;
• Make sure your canteen or catering facilities follow healthy eating guidelines, and remove less healthy vending machines;
• Encourage staff to go out for a walk at lunchtime, and ask them not to work through lunch or stay at their workstations;
• Provide support for staff struggling with the pressures of work or personal life;
• Run occupational health events or themed health days;
• Provide literature about leading a healthy life;
• Ensure staff are fully trained to use any equipment;
• Provide a safe and tidy environment to work in.
