Free business support package to get your workplace physically active

Evidence shows that an active workforce improves business performance:

  • 27% fewer sick days are taken by staff who are physically active
  • 91% Liverpool organisations reported improved staff communication and morale when taking part in the previous Liverpool Active Workplaces programme
  • reduces turnover and improves Corporate Social Responsibility

Although we are in unprecedented times and in economic uncertainty with the impact of Covid-19, the health and wellbeing of employees is an even greater priority for employers. We recently surveyed businesses in Liverpool, with 91% reporting that staff health & wellbeing has reduced as a result of Covid-19, and 85% said that staff don’t feel as connected to each other.

As we move through the different phases of the lockdown and easing of restrictions, there is a real opportunity for businesses and employees to start to adopt new behaviours that could result in better productivity, healthier staff and a greener environment.

Liverpool Active Workplaces is here to support your organisation, and by signing up your organisation will receive a free package of support that includes:

  • Resources, activity challenges and group activities for employees to help encourage them to be more active, and more active whilst working from home
  • Workshops for managers about how to improve staff health & wellbeing, and peer support training for colleagues
  • Workplace Toolkit – a practical guide to implementing workplace activity initiatives and signposting to sources of support
  • Access to the Liverpool Active Workplace Conference, learning events and further staff consultation support

Becoming an active workplace is quick and simple – join in with the growing network of organisations across Liverpool who have signed up to the initiative, supporting Liverpool to become the most active core city in England.
