We offer a range of corporate health and fitness services including:

Employee Health Checks
Our wellness assessments have been designed to provide your employees with a clear picture of their current health and fitness by using three methods:

• Lifestyle Consultations
• Nutritional Questionnaires
• Physical Assesments

Our premium package includes all three of the above methods and requires approximately 2 hours of time per employee, however, there is also the option to divide this package into 4 separate consultations of 30 minutes.

The Facts

30 million working days are lost each year to occupational ill health and injury.

Sickness absence costs employers at least £12 billion each year.

The health of your staff is important to the health of your business.

A healthy workforce makes for a healthy business

• UK absentee rates in 2004 reached an all time high of 9 days per employee per year - with a cost to UK businesses of over £12bn. (source: The Work Foundation)
• Employees involved in corporate fitness programmes take 5 sick days less per annum than colleagues not on a programme. (source: Prudential Insurance Company research)
• Exercisers work at full efficiency all day, giving a 12.5% increase in productivity. (source: Prudential Insurance Company research)

Why?
Exercise boosts the immune system, so helps combat colds and flu, fights stress hormones and encourages production of 'feel good' hormones.

So do you want to differentiate your company from the competitors to attract better employees?
Do you also want to get more out of your employees and hold onto them for longer too? Our corporate wellness packages can be tailored to suit your requirements.
