Getting an employee to change their levels of activity isn’t easy and the influence managers can exert over the employee is often weak. As a result time needs to be taken to ensure the Challenge is embedded in the organisation so that it can have the greatest impact on the health and well-being of your workforce.
To perform well in the workplace challenge you’ll need
- Clear management commitment from a visible, involved executive champion
- A compelling case for being more active
- High ambition
- commitment from both management and staff
- A plan to get everyone involved
- Lots of face to face communication
- Ways of measuring activity levels and performance improvement and from that
- Ways of recognising good performance
To succeed you’re going to have to put this effort in!
If you are going to go for it you’ll need someone to set your work teams up on the Shape Up Notts! website and for everyone to be encouraged to start logging their activities – it’s that simple!
And you can use the Toolkit to find out about events and to download leaflets and powerpoint documents for promotional purposes
