The New BHF Think Fit! Workplace Pack and Workplace Health Website

Think fit! the new BHF workplace physical activity pack, sponsored by Legal and General, is now available. The Think fit! pack is an updated version of the Workplace Health Activity Toolkit (WHAT) which was launched in April 2003.



The pack is designed to raise awareness of the benefits of physical activity in peopleís busy lives and help workplaces make physical activity a productive and integral part of the working day. You donít have to be an expert on physical activity. The pack can be used by anyone with an interest in the health and well-being of the workforce: Occupational health, human resources, health and safety, health promotion teams or individuals with a desire to promote physical activity in their workplace.

The pack contains materials for use by a workplace activity champion including a guide to developing a workplace activity programme, an activity wallplanner and a simple guide to good health for employees. The pack also contains a t-shirt, posters, screensaver and a PowerPoint presentation.

A Think fit! workplace website (www.bhf.org.uk/thinkfit) has been developed to accompany the pack and links from the main BHF website. The site contains downloadable items from the pack and information on workplace health, physical activity in the workplace and the national workplace health programme; Well @ Work. You can also send a ëday in the lifeí animation (www.bhf.org.uk/thinkfit/dayinthelife) to colleagues and compete against each other in the ëOffice Olympicsí games.

You can order the Think fit! pack online at www.bhf.org.uk or call Dataforce on 0870 6006566. We would welcome a suggested donation of 25 per pack. The Think fit! pack order code is G283.
