NHS England support Sports and Physical Activity @ Work awards 2016

‘The workplace is a great place to provide opportunities for staff to be more active and evidence tells us the benefits for the employer are many fold – improved morale, team working and performance as well as a more committed and engaged workforce. In this context being active doesn’t just mean engaging in team sports, putting on those running shoes and trips to the gym. It includes a range of activity like workplace singing , dancing , gardening, organized thematic walks and cycling too. For example singing has many physical and psychological benefits because it is an aerobic activity that increases oxygenation in the blood stream and exercises major muscle groups in the upper body, even when sitting. So we would love to hear about your more creative responses to getting people more active too’
