Bedfont® promotes movement in the workplace as part of a commitment to employee wellbeing.
Bedfont® Scientific Limited, an award-winning med-tech company in Harrietsham, Kent, was excited
to participate in the Joe Wicks Movement Hour on Wednesday 5th March. The Joe Wicks Movement
Hour aimed to promote physical activity and wellbeing within the workplace. The event encouraged
employers across the UK to allocate an hour during the working day for employees to engage in
physical activities.
Bedfont® is passionate about employee wellbeing and focuses heavily on a healthy work/life balance.
The Joe Wicks Movement Hour provided an extra opportunity to get staff moving and away from
their desks for a break.
Whether working remotely or in the office, staff were encouraged to use the hour to do a physical
activity of their choice. The suggested activities were taking a walk, going on a bike ride, taking the
children to the park, or joining the garden committee in the Bedfont® Wellbeing Garden to help tidy
up and prepare the space for Spring.
“We believe that a healthy workforce is a happy and productive workforce,” said Jason Smith, CEO at
Bedfont®. “Taking part in Joe Wicks’ Movement Hour is a fantastic way to reinforce our commitment
to employee wellbeing and encourage staff to be more active throughout the day.”
Last week, Jemma Carter, Communications and Content Coordinator at Bedfont® was invited to
speak on BBC Radio Kent to share insights on how Bedfont® is embracing the movement and the
positive impact it is expected to have on employees. The conversation highlighted the importance of
movement in the workplace and how small changes can improve overall health and morale.
With the success of the Joe Wicks Movement Hour, Bedfont® continues to prioritise health and
wellbeing in the workplace and plans to encourage staff to incorporate more movement into their
daily routine.
