Simon Williams, Director and Chief Instructor, fit MK Ltd: “I run a company which provides fitness training sessions as well as fitness and nutrition workshops. Over the last 18 months, I have worked on building a corporate portfolio and FOSSIL was one of the first companies that took on our services.

The attitude at FOSSIL was fantastic from the outset. After the first meeting, we agreed to run a fitness training class from their place of business twice a week, on a weekly basis. It was soon reported back that the staff that were attending had a real noted difference in their performance at work, so Fossil then set up a programme which included fitness assessment and body fat analysis. I am very proud of what we have achieved with FOSSIL and I certainly consider them one of the reasons that fitMK offers the corporate programme that we now offer.”

Howard Hughes from Simplyhealth remarks: “We run this award scheme because we want to recognise and encourage companies to care about the health of their people. We believe that companies can make a positive contribution to the health of our nation. Congratulations to FOSSIL on achieving Simplyhealth Healthy Workplace status and demonstrating that the health and wellbeing of its employees is fundamental.”

Another good idea to implement during the day is mindful working.  Now, I can hear you say “yeah yeah yeah…, have heard about that, not my cup of tea…”.  I have even heard from some of you who have been lucky enough to get some mindfulness sessions at work that it is all fine and good in the session, quite enjoyable actually, but that you do not have a clue what to do with it back at your desk.   Now, mindful working and mindful living generally are just one small aspect of what we teach in Sophrology but for us it is really all about how to make it work in a practical way.
