Support your team’s physical wellbeing, energy, and productivity with this practical and engaging in-person desk health and movement workshop. This fully facilitated, on-site experience is designed to help employees build healthier habits in desk-based environments.

Modern work often involves long periods of sitting, which can lead to discomfort, fatigue, and long-term health risks. This workshop helps participants understand the impact of sedentary behaviour and provides realistic, easy-to-implement solutions that fit into even the busiest schedules.

Participants will explore:

• 🪑 Desk Ergonomics – Learn how to optimise your workstation for comfort and posture\
• 🧠 Impact of Sitting – Understand how prolonged sitting affects the body and brain
• 👀 Eye Health & Screen Habits – Apply the 20-20-20 rule to reduce digital strain
• ⚡ Movement Snacks – Discover micro, mini, and main movement breaks that fit into any day
• 🤸 Desk Stretches – Practice simple stretches that can be done anytime, anywhere
• 🔄 Habit Building – Learn proven techniques to build and maintain movement routines

The 60-minute workshop includes guided posture checks, interactive exercises, and practical tools such as ergonomics checklists and movement planning frameworks. Participants will also create a personalised Movement Action Plan (MAP) to support long-term habit change.

This on-site corporate wellbeing workshop is ideal for desk-based teams, hybrid workers, and organisations looking to improve employee comfort, reduce fatigue, and support healthier ways of working.
