CREATING A HEALTHIER,
MORE ACTIVE WORKPLACE

We believe that fostering a culture of physical activity is essential for the overall well-being and productivity of a workplace. By integrating physical activity into our daily routines and workplace environment, we not only enhance individual health but also build a stronger, more connected community.

Workplace Resources

Explore how we’ve built a workplace that prioritizes movement, wellness, and community engagement through our comprehensive Active Culture initiatives.

Active Culture

Active Culture creates a workplace that values physical activity and reduces sitting time. It integrates physical activity policies and has a dedicated health and wellbeing team, with senior management leading by example.

New employees learn about these policies and physical activity resources during onboarding. It promotes movement through walking meetings, stair use, and flexible work options.

The organisation integrates physical activity events and challenges into its wellness calendar and actively promotes local parks, walking/cycling paths, and recreation facilities through various channels.
