We are very enthusiastic about supporting the Aberdeen Corporate Decathlon as it is a wonderful opportunity to not only encourage employee engagement and participation but to also encourage the health benefits of taking part in physical exercise.
We believe that prevention is always better than cure and as occupational health providers we offer health promotion services to our clients to help inform and educate their workforces regarding improving health and wellbeing. The Aberdeen Corporate Decathlon has enabled us to take our health promotion activities to another level and practice what we preach.
Good occupational health is a part of good business management and has a significant contribution to make to help businesses and organisations deliver high performance and effective cost controls.

We are especially delighted to sponsor the Personal Health Challenge as it offers the participants the chance to discover their current levels of fitness and then work on making improvements. All of us have to take some responsibility for our own health and this event provides an excellent challenge for all of its participants. No matter how unfit they are at the start of the challenge, they can through their own efforts and using the advice and facilities offered make a significant change for the better.
