Providing Accuro StaffCare in your workplace is a great step towards creating a healthy work environment and encouraging your staff to be healthy.

Key benefits of workplace health insurance:

• Improved staff retention
• Helps staff feel valued 
• Less sick leave and faster recovery

Health insurance is just the start in creating a healthy workplace. As an employer, you can encourage your staff to lead healthy lives. Educate your staff on the importance of a balanced diet, consider having fruit available for staff or providing healthy options in vending machines as these small changes can make a difference.

Get active and encourage opportunities for staff to get active. Consider signing up for weekly team sports or coordinate groups for lunchtime walks. Activities like this have the benefit of getting staff active and you will be team building at the same time.  Why not try setting up a program like 10,000 Steps and create a competition in your workplace.  We have provided a link below for further details.

Accuro supports staff by sponsoring events including the Corporate Challenge 5km, over 35% of our staff took part.  We also sponsor a staff social netball tournament with 45% of our staff playing in one or all of the games.

Your staff are your greatest asset. Protect their health and your business will receive the benefits.

Recent evidence shows that healthy adults should aim to take 10,000 steps every day. Children and adolescents can aim for even more - around 12-14,000 steps a day. Depending on mobility or existing health problems, senior adults should aim for a little less than 10,000 steps (Talk to us or your doctor about modifying your target if you think you might be in this category).
