Analysis
Employees stuck sitting for prolonged periods at work.
A high prevalence of aches and pains associated with this sedentary nature of the work.
Approach
Bronze package:
Training promoting more standing and movement at work combined with Therabands being provided for all staff.
Minor infrastructure changes including changing meeting rooms to standing and implementing two height adjustable desks as an option for workers looking to change posture.
Pre and post intervention follow-ups with the staff.
Outcome
Reported improvement in wellbeing culture by 13% from this basic intervention. Also, minor improvements in both sitting time and reported aches and pains despite the small scale of the intervention.
