Did you know that...

• Healthy employees are nearly three times more productive than unhealthy employees
(according to Medibank, The health of Australia’s workforce, November 2005)

• Unhealthy employees take up to nine times more sick leave than their healthy colleagues (according to Medibank, The health of Australia’s workforce, November 2005)

• Poor employee health and absenteeism is costing Australian business $7 billion annually (according to Health Services Australia, Managing Absenteeism Report, November 2002)

An unhealthy workforce isn't healthy for business. It's no surprise that the leading companies in many sectors take a lead in employees' wellbeing. Exercise and relaxation have far reaching benefits, not only for individuals but for the business as a whole; influencing performance, team spirit and even staff retention, whilst reducing stress and absenteeism.

For a healthy business start with healthy employees! Benefits include:

• People gain more energy with exercise

• Decision making ability and confidence in roles is increased

• Better all-round performance achieved

• Reduced sick days taken

• Recruitment of new staff through an attractive benefits package

• Enhanced integration between staff of all levels

• Better team retention
