Move More Active Workplaces and Workforce

We recognise the importance of supporting individuals,  workforces and employing organisations to embed physical activity in a meaningful way that enables people to improve their wellbeing by staying active during their working day.

This theme focuses on the role workplaces play in the promotion of healthy living at an individual, group, community and population level in a wide range of settings across the City. Move More has worked with partners to ‘make the case’ for investment in physical activity initiatives.

We have provided support to individuals within work to increase their physical activity and improve their health and wellbeing by providing evidence-based workplace wellbeing programmes. 

Move More has supported the development of high quality written information, videos, testimonies and case studies from the workplace as well as online training programmes and challenges. We have supported workplaces to pilot test sit-to-stand desks. We have championed active travel and worked with employers to create change.  Finally, we have supported the role out of wellness screening and behaviour change counselling services.

We have an ongoing commitment to embedding physical activity within workplaces and recognise that this may look very different as a large proportion of the workforce is homebased due to COVID-19. We are looking for people to help us move this agenda forwards in Sheffield.  If you are interested in working with us to support workplace wellbeing through physical activity, please contact tom.hughes@yorkshiresport.org
