Luton Airport officially ‘fit for business’
01.08.10
Over the last two years Luton Airport has been encouraging employees to get ‘Fit for Business’ (FFB) as one of the participants on the Lottery Funded ‘Wellbeing in The East’ Fit for Business Portfolio. It recently achieved re-accreditation for the ‘Fit for Business Recognition’ and has officially been branded a Fit for Business certified workplace.
The airport signed up to the (FFB) national recognition programme for workplace health and wellbeing, working to support employee health and wellbeing across 5 key areas: Physical Activity, Healthy Eating options, Mental Health & Wellbeing promotion, Stop Smoking Information and Drugs and Alcohol Awareness.
Highlights of the project included a road-show style event attended by over 120 members of staff that offered a range of activities including free massages, blood pressure testing, free fruit smoothies and advice on stopping smoking, free Pilates classes for staff at lunchtime, which helped staff with general fitness and relaxation, and healthy eating events and other activities to encourage staff to maintain a healthy balanced diet despite varying shift patterns, including providing Airport employees with free fruit in June.
Sian Pearce, Community Relations Executive, said: ‘Staff have embraced the programme and have been keen to take on board advice on changing their lifestyle, eating more healthily, taking more exercise and trying new activities. This has had great long term benefits for individuals and the Airport as a whole.’
