Creating a healthier workplace has a positive impact on business as well as employees' health. WorkSafe.qld.gov.au has information and services for work health and safety and workers' compensation in Queensland.
A healthy workplace is an essential business investment. Work health and wellbeing focuses on improving work processes to benefit the health of workers and prevent chronic disease risks in the workplace.
When it comes to work health and wellbeing the risk factors include physical inactivity and sedentary work, unhealthy eating, harmful alcohol consumption, smoking, obesity and poor mental health.
Improving employee physical activity levels through 10,000 Steps is a great way to address workplace health and wellbeing. Help your employees be healthier and happier – start developing a workplace wellness program today. Healthy employees are more productive, take fewer sick days and have stronger loyalty, to name just a few of the benefits.
