We all spend a lot of time at work, it’s an important part of our lives and thus also can contribute significantly to our mind and body health.  Whether work has a positive or negative impact on our current and future health depends on loads of different factors and a lot of these interact with each other.   Some of these as individuals we can control, others need more of a united front to create change.    

The team at In2health are passionate about supporting individuals and organisations to be as healthy as they can be. One of the things that drives us at In2health to do what we do, is the potential to enable transformation of unhealthy work environments into healthier ones.  We do this through provision of meaningful, de-identified data to employers outlining the health and economic risks of not boosting protective factors and minimising risks wherever possible. 

We also aim to support employers to invest in strategies to optimise employee health outcomes, not only so that they can feel good but also as it economically makes sense.  

The fact that your employer has provided access to In2health is a good sign that they value you and are interested in you being your healthiest self.

If you do have some issues that need addressing it's a good idea, if you feel comfortable, to speak to your direct manager to see if there are some structures that can be put in place to address them. If you have tried this or don't feel comfortable then seeking to have a voice through other channels is important, as you're unlikely to be the only one who is feeling this way.
