Join us - Netwalking in Chesterfield [FREE Event]


Healthy Workplaces Derbyshire Icon - Exercise

Healthy Workplaces Derbyshire (HWD) would like to invite you to join us along with ‘Walk Derbyshire’ to our 'Introduction to Netwalking' lunchtime session in Chesterfield.

This session takes place on Tuesday 14th of May at 12:30 pm. The event is a circular walk starting at The Hub @ Low Pavement, 63 Low Pavement, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, S40 1PB.

During the session, there will be a quick overview of the 'Netwalking Toolkit', followed by a short walk with facilitated conversations around keeping active in the workplace and a quick debrief back at The Hub.

There is no cost to attend - just book via the link below (↓) to let us know you are joining us.

We understand sometimes it can be difficult to take a break from work – whether you’re an employer or employee, the pressure of work, meeting deadlines, feeling you can’t take a break when colleagues around you are working through. The following points might be useful to help when discussing the benefits and encouraging your workplace/colleagues to take part: 

  • It's medically proven that people who do regular activity have a lower risk of developing chronic diseases, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression and dementia.
  • A 'healthy workplace environment' can benefit both the organisation and its employees. Evidence shows that where workplaces invest in health and wellbeing, employees feel valued, productivity increases (↑), sickness absence is reduced (↓), and retention improves.

Go on – take a break, take a NetWalk! 🚶‍♀️
