Our latest Health Insights campaign looks at how to build health and wellbeing in the workplace — and spotlights the science of Behavioural Insights, which is helping organisations identify effective strategies to embed resilience.

Having proactive policies to support health and wellbeing in the workplace builds and reduces the risk of staff developing chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.¹ And we know that lifestyle strategies such a healthy diet and regular exercise will head off many health problems.

Yet new Bupa data highlights a tsunami of risk for preventable disease, with Health Assessments for more than 58,000 people finding 41% were overweight, 65% were inactive and 26% experienced some form of depression.²

We explore this disconnect and how to address it.

The true state of workplace health now has unprecedented focus. As we look beyond the pandemic it is more important than ever organisations recognise the power of prevention to build healthier workplaces.

In our latest event, our panel of Bupa experts discussed how employers can apply behavioural insights, to encourage preventative health practises to reduce the risk of chronic disease and build more resilient teams.

Most disease is preventable and avoidable conditions accounted for 89% of deaths in the UK in 2016.³
