Capital Chemist Southlands

Congratulations to Capital Chemist Southlands for upgrading to Silver Status as part of the Healthier Work Recognition Scheme!! Moving into year 2, the Southlands team were looking to continue and build upon the momentum gained in their first year as part of the program, and therefore needed to adjust their plan slightly to better suit the nature of the work that they do at the chemist.  Staff are obviously required to be on their feet a lot during the day, as well as have lunch breaks at different times to other staff, so therefore a lunchtime walk as a group, for example, wasn’t going to work for them.  A few of the activities (all of which are inclusive of all staff) included: “Park Run” on Saturday mornings before the shop opened; taking part in Steptember; supplying fruit to the staff; holding a soup day in Winter; and providing all staff with water bottles and promoting hydration.  Congrats Capital Chemist Southlands!!
