Encourage your Staff to MOVE!

Try and encourage your staff to get up and stretch their legs every hour. Even if it’s for only 2mins, you’ll get the blood flowing and stop your body form stiffening up. Help by setting an alarm and do it all together. Want to go the extra mile? Throw in 10 squats, 10 push ups and 10 sit ups.

3. Encourage your Staff to Enjoy Some Fresh Air

Put together an exercise group. Offer your staff an early mark once a week and go out and train together. A group that exercises together will stay together. So everyone can feel involved, each week make a different employee responsible for organizing and delivering the session. One week, it’s a running session, the next could be a game of basketball, the week after that might be trampolining. Maybe get your staff involved in an Event like a Fun Run for Charity.  Get out of your comfort zone and learn to have fun.
