23 APRIL: Sleep, weight and fitness … those were the three top-of-mind health worries that our staff listed in the annual wellbeing survey.
So ACC is working with the Queensland Government program ‘My Health for Life’ to support the health and wellbeing of our employees by offering free, confidential one-on-one health checks for all staff.
The program supports staff to understand their health, make healthier choices and create healthier habits to lower their risk of developing chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Qualified health coaches co-design an action plan, either through individual or group sessions, phone or video conferencing or online modules.
Our on-site physiotherapist Bill Yu (pictured) is promoting the program. He said: “Whether your goal is to get more active, eat better, feel less stressed, or lose weight, the focus is on building a step-by-step plan to help you achieve your goals over time. It’s all about making healthier choices and creating healthier habits.”
