In this blog from ukactive Strategic Partner, CSSC, Richard Hemley \u2013 the organisation\u2019s creative copywriter \u2013 explains the importance of building workplace wellbeing and activity into schedules and why it is so important over the winter period.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We spend so much time either at work or travelling to and from work, it\u2019s no wonder that many of the barriers that people regularly offer as reasons they aren\u2019t more active, include \u2018a lack of time\u2019, \u2018having no energy\u2019 or there being \u2018minimal opportunities\u2019.<\/p>\n

Throw into the mix the darker evenings and colder weather of autumn and winter, and you have ensured people are far less likely to stay active and mobile, perhaps when they need it most. This is having a negative impact on people\u2019s heath, wellbeing and work\/life balance, which in turn is resulting in escalating health issues, causing more absence, less collaboration and decreasing output.<\/p>\n

To combat this, more and more institutions are embracing the concept of wellbeing in the workplace and reporting the benefits of energising their employees with well managed and carefully delivered wellbeing strategies.<\/p>\n
