Healthy Employees are more Productive Employees!

13th February 2014

There is plenty of evidence that healthy employees are more productive, have less time off work, and if they are ill recover more quickly.

Its in your interest to encourage everybody in your organisation to be more active and its one of the reasons why the Chamber is engaged with, and actively promoting, the objectives on the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine (NCSEM). To know more about this click here. But also look at the short video below which promotes the work of Inmotion!, an organisation set up to help employees find more active ways of getting to, and from work. We think its a great idea. We think your organisation would benefit from it. Its the right thing for you to encourage your employees to do. It costs nothing!!
