Engaging your employees in physical activity and sport is vital in creating an efficient and effective organisation. The World Health Organisation has already identified physical inactivity globally as the fourth biggest killer, costing the UK economy over £5.4bn every year in absenteeism. At work, 59% of men and 54% of women spend more than five hours a day desk-bound or sitting down, contributing towards a more sedentary lifestyle.
Merseyside Sports Partnership provide a comprehensive Workplace Offer to help your employees to become more physically active:
Access to funding to provide a tailored programme of physical activity at your workplace
Entry in to the Workplace Challenge programme for employees to log their activity
Training and development opportunities to upskill employees in coaching or health awareness
Ongoing support and access to local events and campaigns e.g. Merseyside Business Games
For example, we could undertake some consultation with your staff team to find out what physical activity they would like to see within the workplace, fund a taster programme (over 50 different sports available) and then train staff members up to sustain the group within your workplace.
