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. By encouraging positive choices and setting clear guidelines, you create an environment that inspires a healthy way of life, both in and outside the workplace.
The six building blocks of a healthy lifestyle
A healthy lifestyle touches on many areas. To keep things clear, we’ve identified six themes that are fundamental to it, both in and outside the workplace.
Mental strength
Resilience helps employees cope with stress, pressure and change better. We provide concrete tools for managers and training courses that teach them how to reduce stress, maintain focus and manage energy sustainably.
Lifelong fitness and health
Good health and motivation are the key to long-term fitness for work. We raise your employees’ awareness through training courses on lifestyle, mindfulness and healthy and vital ageing.
Better sleep
Poor sleep quality or sleep deprivation has a major impact on health, concentration and productivity. We help employees identify causes and guide them towards better sleep.
Exercise and sport
Getting enough healthy exercise reduces health risks and increases job satisfaction. We provide encouragement with activities such as exercise challenges, workshops and awareness campaigns – all tailored to your needs and integrated into your wellbeing policy.
Giving up vaping and smoking
Smoking is disastrous for the health, but quitting is easier said than done. We can give employees support with giving up smoking, together and under supervision. A smoke-free environment is also important, so we will help determine what adjustments are needed to create a workplace where not smoking is the norm.
Healthy nutrition
Good nutritional choices are essential. Through education and guidance, we support employees in healthier eating habits and weight management. At policy level, we give advice on how to integrate this into the workplace.
Make these themes part of a practical and achievable policy on healthy lifestyles, in order to make a real impact. How do you do this? We will help you from start to finish.
