Maybe you have noticed it in your team, organization, or just for yourself that when you are less active it has a clear effect on your mental state/health. Evidence suggests that sedentary behavior is typically associated with poorer mental health. The Covid-19 pandemic increased physical inactivity and stress worldwide, especially for groups whose daily activities were disrupted, such as office workers.
The pandemic has changed the way many of us work, and many organizations have implemented a more flexible working environment where employees can work from home. In this new way of working, we are still faced with the struggles of an environment which is more physically inactive than before.
So how can we change this environment and motivate employees to become more active? Join us at this NOCA event where Mikala Larsen, Delphine Thygesen and Åsa Lindskog from Nestlé will share their journey with creating an environment which fosters healthy habits.
Also joining us is Stefano De Dominicis, Assistant Professor of Sport and Health Psychology at University of Copenhagen. Stefano will share results from his new study ‘Active Breaks and work-related stress’.
We will dive deeper into the areas of:
- How did Nestlé work with creating a culture of healthy habits?
- Examples of the ‘Pleaz’-platform that Nestle implemented to support healthy habits
- How to use ambassadors to drive some of the healthy habit’s initiatives
- Research perspectives on active breaks and work-related stress
The well-being of our employees should be of top priority, but it is not easy! If you agree, then join us at this NOCA event where we will dive deeper into this area of opportunities.
