Mid-Year Health Check-Ins – Fit For Life

Read moreAs employers, you have a unique opportunity to create an environment of health & nutrition within your own walls. Employ Health cuts out the spin of fad diets and removes high barriers to entry through corporate nutrition workshops which provide healthy eating at work tips and strategies to unlock a raft of health benefits for your employees.
At Employ Health, we believe that Health Trumps Everything and we’re passionate about helping employees access the benefits that good nutrition can bring. Our workshops aim to extend beyond the dogma of crash dieting and overly punishing restriction by empowering workers to put away the calculators and pick up some easy to remember habits, tips and tricks to have them fuelled for work & life.
One of the biggest challenges in getting workers involved in health is time and – let’s face it – interest. One of the best ways to inspire involvement is to give people a platform to shout out their wins (and potentially bag a nifty prize or site-wide notoriety!)
Best Healthy Home Recipe
Got a favourite recipe? You don’t have to be an aspiring sous-chef to get involved! Hosting a home recipe challenge is a great way to shout out workers for getting involved in their own nutrition while getting others on board to try new recipes.
The 8 Week Challenge
Need a real spark to get your workplace fired up? Let your team sign up for our 8 Week Challenge. Moving beyond the outdated bounds of pure weight loss, Employ Health’s 8 week challenge inspires workers to choose their own health journey based around their health behaviours, not just the number on the scales.
The human body is an amazing machine. Like any amazing machine, it runs best when it’s properly fuelled! Without the right energy, the body slows down and fatigue increases. Help your team fuel up for the demands of work & life through healthy eating today.
Think of the body as a machine again. Sure, a machine can run on poor fuel, but eventually, the core systems will begin drawing energy from backup systems and ultimately create strain on the entire structure. Once energy levels trough, inflammatory processes increase, movements become unrefined and load multiplies.
Living in an age of a pandemic sharply brings into focus the importance of a strong constitution. The evidence is empirical; healthy eating boosts your immunity, strengthens your heart and builds metabolic resilience!
Absenteeism from sickness & ill health is on the climb within Australia. Numerous studies have shown the resilience granting benefits of healthy eating & exercise on overall resilience to colds, flus & various lifestyle diseases.
Since the dawn of time, food has brought humanity together. Look towards any strong cultural group on the planet and there is always a common theme: Food! A shared physiological need is often the most simple one to boost camaraderie. Whether sharing a meal, your latest recipe or contributing to new meals at the cafeteria, bring your team together through the power of nutrition.
It should be no surprise that poor nutrition and injury risk go hand in hand. A poorly balanced nutritional intake lends to reduced strength levels, weakened healing processes and increases the likelihood of accruing lifestyle diseases. Want to contribute to the physical (and mental) resilience of your workforce? Nutrition training has you covered.
Our workshops touch on some of the key parameters of developing good nutrition including:
Dispelling dietary myths & fads
Highlighting the importance of all 3 macronutrients
Boosting your performance through micronutrients
Workplace specific Q&A: Energy drinks, shift work eating patterns & how to fuel for blue collar work
Tips for where to begin and how to keep the momentum going
While we’re all physiotherapists at Employ Health, Health in all its facets are at the centre of our values. We believe that the best way to prevent disease & injury is through the interplay of strength, sleep, mental health & nutrition.
In the ever changing landscape of diet & nutrition, we are constantly seeing the emergence of pseudo-science. Misinformation continues to be on the rise and copycat celebrity diets still abound as gospel in many circles. We aim to move beyond the stigma of pure weight loss as an indicator for health and instead focus on the behaviours around nutrition that creates an environment for positive change.
Balance your meals! Many workers across Australia head into their shift undernourished and their bodies are literally craving energy after a few short hours. A nutritionally dense breakfast not only leads to better weight loss outcomes in the long term, but has amazing effects on appetite regulation and reducing quick energy cravings.
Snack (If you want to!) Snacking is often maligned as a recipe for weight gain and ruining your next meal, but it can have quite the opposite effect. Strong, nutritionally balanced snacks can regulate the hunger hormones within your body and better stave off the dinner time binges.
Studies continue to emerge that show the deleterious effects of poor employee nutritional habits on your bottom line. Did you know poor nutrition has been linked to a 66% increased risk of loss of productivity? https://home.liebertpub.com/publications/population-health-management/301
