Business Coordinator
Information for businesses

It is vital that businesses are seen as partners in Sheffield – Let’s Change4Life. The Business Broker role is being carried out by Sheffield Chamber of Commerce in order to use existing business networks to communicate the objectives of the programme. What we are doing is getting businesses to believe and engage with the aims of encouraging healthy eating and more physical activity, whether it is through sponsorship or improving their own workplaces.

The average employee may spend 60% of their waking hours in the workplace. Changing their behaviour there will have an impact on how they behave in their free time and, in turn, how their children behave. Not only that, but healthier workplaces results in less sick days, more productivity and contributes towards corporate social responsibility. We would encourage any business or organisation not currently involved in Sheffield – Let’s Change4Life to contact the Business Broker as soon as possible and see what the benefits for your business could be.

How to get involved:

Businesses can get involved without spending anything and can help improve staff moral and sickness absences. You can also get involved by helping your employees be healthy such as providing fruit in vending machines, signage encouraging stair use, and many other ‘free’ ideas.
