Physical wellbeing
Physical Wellbeing relates to our physical health, including nutrition, exercise and sleep hygiene. Taking care of our body is equally as important as taking care of our minds, as they work together to determine health.
A focus on physical wellbeing is crucial for fostering a healthy, productive, and positive work environment and for helping you to maintain a good work-life balance.
