Move More at Work

Productivity can be increase if staff sit less and stand more.  According to a study by Loughborough University (11th Oct 2018) with the support of the NHS.

Sedentary behaviour is common amongst desk-based workers.  But, most DSE training does not cover the associated risks in detail.  On the other hand, this training will help your workforce be engaged and healthy.  As a result, you will have fewer absences and greater productivity. 

Also consider, sedentary behaviour and physical inactivity are linked to a variety of health conditions.  For example;

  • MSDs
  • Stress
  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • Heart disease
  • Stroke
  • Some forms of cancer

In fact, the World Health Organisation identifies insufficient physical activity as the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality.
