Vision
Imagine
work being a place good for your health, the environment and
your business.
The
workplace could become a place of well-being.
Instead
of picking up muscle strains, skin disorders, stress and cancer,
it could become the place to improve your overall fitness.
You could feed and exercise better thereby contributing to
your long-term needs. Work is an ideal place to educate everybody
into better living habits thereby improving their overall
well-being. It would look good for the company and be good
for the workforce and wider environment.

Instead
of workplaces being blamed for all environmental ills, they
could become the place to develop collective ways to lessen
the impacts on the environment. Increasing environmental pressures
are making managers become more aware of resources and establishing
environmental practices to reduce the impact on the environment.
Instead
of all those new Laws, Directives, Standards, and Guidance
Notes, and customer and community demands being a burden,
they could become an opportunity to change things for the
better - better for employers and employees, their families
and the general environment.
Do
you want to be an ostrich with its head in the sand or an
eagle soaring over your competitors? Start now
