Healthy For Business

An introduction

The workplace has been identified as a key setting to promote the health of the adult population. Workplace health promotion involves the creation of a work environment that promotes positive health and well-being and has many benefits for both employers and employees. Health promotion at work is beneficial for employees, as healthy employees are a vital resource in the process of creating a truly ‘healthy’ company. In reducing sickness-related costs and increasing productivity, health promotion also has a direct benefit for your business.

Our health promotion service is a lifestyle programme specifically designed to meet the needs of your employees in relation to raising awareness of cancer prevention, highlighting the importance of early detection, and developing the personal skills of employees to motivate behaviour change.

Adopting healthy lifestyles such as:

Healthy Eating

Physical Activity

Smoking Cessation

Alcohol Awareness

SunSmart Behaviour

Early Detection

can dramatically reduce the risk of developing many cancers. Increasing early detection means that many people who are diagnosed with cancer have an excellent chance of long-term survival.
