At HITEK, we pride ourselves on protecting technology in the most demanding environments. But just as we ensure electronics remain resilient, we also want to ensure our people thrive.
That’s why, in January, a group of HITEK employees embarked on an 8-week health and wellbeing programme in partnership with North Lincolnshire Council’s Healthy Lifestyles team. The goal? To equip our team with the knowledge and support needed to make sustainable changes in their everyday lives.
A Holistic Approach to Wellbeing
The programme covered a wide range of areas, including:
- Nutrition and portion control
- Physical activity and movement
- Sleep quality and recovery
- Habit formation and mindfulness
Through expert-led sessions and ongoing support, our colleagues gained practical strategies to improve their overall health.
Real Stories, Real Impact
The results have been truly inspiring! Participants have shared their experiences of improved energy levels, better sleep, and a greater understanding of how to make healthier choices.
Some of the comments we have received from participants include:
“I enjoyed the content covered on habit building, I have started running and I am building that up gradually with the motivation to do ‘couch to 5k’ once the lighter evenings start. The programme has tied everything together for me and I am feeling much healthier.”
“It was good to engage in the programme alongside my colleagues, we had the opportunity to discuss topics and have conversations about health and wellbeing which we wouldn’t have otherwise had,”
Our HR Manager, Shirley Large, highlighted the importance of initiatives like this in creating a workplace that values wellbeing:
“At HITEK, we understand that a healthy team is a happy and productive team. This programme has been a fantastic way to support our employees in making positive changes that benefit both their work and personal lives.”
Chloe Hutton who is part of North Lincolnshire Council’s Healthy Lifestyles team also recognised the value of collaboration in workplace wellbeing:
Looking Ahead
“Partnering with businesses like HITEK allows us to support employees in making informed lifestyle choices that have lasting benefits. It’s great to see organisations prioritising health and wellbeing in this way.”
This initiative is just the beginning. At HITEK, we’re committed to fostering a culture where wellbeing is at the heart of our workplace. Whether through future programmes, workplace activities, or simply encouraging conversations around health, we’ll continue to support our team in leading healthier lives.
