A healthy lifestyle
Getting enough exercise, a varied diet, quality sleep, not smoking... There are many components to a healthy lifestyle, and the choices involved are primarily a personal matter. As an employer, though, you have an important role to play – because employees who feel healthy will be happier, more resilient and more productive, and have longer working lives.

Your employees spend an average of eight hours a day at work, so the work environment is a significant context for their lifestyle. A context you can influence. Mensura helps you encourage positive choices in the workplace and establish clear policies. This in turn lets you create an environment that inspires a healthy lifestyle, both in and outside of the workplace.
Investing in health pays off
Every euro you invest in health as an employer yields an average return of €1.92. This is true provided your investments are made thoughtfully and sensibly and as an integral part of your wellbeing policy.

5 reasons why you should focus on vitality
Optimal productivity
People who feel good about themselves are more motivated and productive. Vital employees are keen to work – and get a kick out of their work – every single day.
Boosting your image
Vitality is an extra weapon in the war for talent. Employees choose organisations that pay attention to a healthy lifestyle, both at and outside work. Market research by Mensura shows that 87% of employees think it’s important for their employer to invest in vitality.
Increased job satisfaction
Employees who sense that wellbeing is a high priority are more loyal and enthusiastic and have a stronger bond with the organisation. Overall job satisfaction increases, contributing to a positive company culture. What’s more, positivity is contagious, so everyone comes out a winner!
A positive return

Less absenteeism
Healthy employees are less at risk of burnout, chronic illnesses or long-term absenteeism – and that in turn means lower absenteeism and replacement costs.
