YOGA IN THE WORKPLACE
FOR HEALTH & WELL-BEING

Do you know how much your company or organisation is losing through employee absence? And, do you know why?

British industry loses £17 billion per year through employee absence due to two major factors – STRESS AND BACK PAIN[1].

The UK’s Health & Safety Executive reported that in 2011 10.8 million working days were lost due to work related stress and 7.6 million lost through musculoskeletal disorders, 40% of those days being related to back pain [2].

Stress, back pain and discontented employees generally have a lower productivity output and don’t focus too well on the tasks being performed.

So how do you go about reducing your losses with low investment for high return?

And transform your employees from this

Workplace exercise programmes are best for preventing low back pain and has also been shown to have a positive effect on the mental and physical health of employees [3].

If you are interested in introducing a workplace health & well-being management programme, please get in touch to arrange a meeting to discuss your particular situation or to run a trial session so you can see how your company or organisation can benefit.
