Getting Active & Active Travel

Being regularly active has a significant impact on both physical and mental wellbeing.

Regular movement helps reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity, musculoskeletal issues and many other chronic conditions that have strong links to prolonged sitting. Being active also boosts energy levels, sharpens focus, and improves mood, which can lead to increased productivity and reduced stress within the workforce.

Encouraging physical activity as a business or organisation can create a more engaged, motivated, and resilient workforce. Ultimately, an active workplace culture supports healthier employees and a more dynamic, collaborative work environment.
