Workplace Health Challenge

The Workplace Health Challenge helps organisations create a culture of health within their workforce.

It is a fun, group based challenge where employees work together to achieve a group score. The group’s score represents their reduction of cardiovascular disease risk factors. This is a far better indicator of overall health than weight loss or how long it takes to run a mile for example. And it’s far more important too. High cholesterol has no symptoms and leads to cardiovascular disease, the number 1 cause of premature death in Ireland. To be sae you must be tested regularly.

While testing alone won’t improve a individuals circumstances, taking the Workplace Health Challenge will.

Over a 12 week period, lasting results are achieved through a specific combination of

  • Screening
  • Education
  • Light Exercise
  • Motivatin & Monitoring 

Unlike many workplace health initiatives, the Workplace Health Challenge is of benefit to all employees.

Thanks to our whole of health philosophy, people at any level of health can take part and reach their individual goals.

The truth is, programmes focused on specific areas of health, such as weight loss or fitness, can often leave certain employees feeling alienated. This leads to poor engagement levels and can actually lower staff morale.

The Workplace Health Challenge is different.

Delivered on the business premises over 12 weeks, the programme includes:

  • Before and after employee health screening
  • A five seminar health eduction course
  • Weekly Healthy Choices mini challenges
  • One to one public health nutritionist consultations
  • Individual nutrition plans
  • A health Reach starter pack
  • Workplace health Challenge workbook
  • Exercise log and food diary
  • Weekly progress promoting materials
  • Progress log and test equipment on site for 12 weeks
  • Email support
