Our Staff Recreate courses are specifically designed for staff, by staff to help promote and active healthy workforce on campus!

Did you know as part of the University’s commitment to supporting staff in adopting healthy lifestyle behaviours, UWA offers a comprehensive staff health and wellbeing program with a range of programs and services available to help you achieve your health and wellbeing goals?

UWA Sport this year partnered with the HR divisions health and wellbeing team to bring you the 2016 Activity Challenge, which has had an amazing response from staff on campus! The Activity Challenge is a twelve week initiative whereby being active and walking 10 000 steps a day earns you points to be redeemed for prizes on and around campus. While the activity challenge is a great stepping stone for staff wanting to increase their activity on campus, a healthy lifestyle isn’t achieved in just twelve weeks.

That’s where we stepped in! Recognising that there was a real demand for staff health and wellbeing initiatives on campus we started brainstorming ways in which we could work affordable, convenient, staff specific offerings into the staff calendar! Enter UWA Staff Recreate Lunchtime Sessions!

We looked at everything from the length of classes, to the price, and have developed a series of lunch time sessions that will be offered to staff Monday through Thursday during a common lunch period. We recognized that the class length needed shortening to allow staff to walk across campus, get changed and settle in, for thier staff only lunctime class!

Most importantly we understood that to make these classes as accessible as possible, and allow a broad range of staff to take up the initiative we had to make our classes affordable! Working with your on camps staff specialists, The UWA Human Recourses Team, we were able to not only offer a great price, but the opportunity for staff to salary sacrifice our Recreate courses.

With convenient, affordable and specially tailored staff courses now available, there has never been a better time to take control of your health! Still curious? Email: [email protected] to find out more! Or head to our website https://www.sport.uwa.edu.au/recreate-courses/find-your-course#staff
