Workplace

Computer Breaks

We know we all need to take a break from the screen from time to time and it especially comes to life when we're working on an intense piece of work or project. Indeed some of us have timers set up on our computer or vibrating seat cushions (yes those exist!) to remind us to break. All of this is …

Sedentary Workplaces

The notion of an intervention which not only raises employee well-being but improves performance, increases productivity and reduces costs is appealing. So why is it then that there is still so much physical inactivity in our workplaces? I propose that the science on how much physical …

Move your Feet more

Our feet are our base. Each foot has 26 bones, 33 joints and over 100 muscles, tendons & ligaments. That means over a quarter of our bones lie below our ankles. Our feet have so much potential for movement yet our cultural habits restrict so much of that movement. We walk on flat, level man …
