Changes to Exercise & Diet are Top Staff Wellbeing Objectives

According to a recent survey conducted by us, when asked what their wellbeing priorities for change are, an overwhelming 39% of office workers expressed the desire to take more exercise, while 22% said they'd most like to eat more healthily as their top priority.

These preferences illustrate quite clearly what we've suspected for a long time - when it comes to energising and engaging staff and helping them tackle stress, simple wellbeing initiatives that get people active and eating better pay dividends.

Other popular objectives chosen by participants in the programmes provide further insight into how wellbeing interventions should be targeted:

  • Improve work-life balance
  • Improve my sleeping routine
  • Lose weight
  • Drink more water
  • Reduce caffeine intake
  • Make more time for myself
  • Reduce alcohol intake
  • Improve stress management
  • Stop smoking / reduce smoking
  • Make more time for my family

It's all pretty straightforward stuff but very worthwhile bearing in mind when you're considering which of the many wellbeing initiatives available to you will have the greatest impact for your staff.
