Physical activity is more than a health initiative—it is a strategic lever to boost performance and foster a thriving workplace. Work, Move & Perf complements the Move at Work online course by shifting the focus from programme implementation to organisational impact, helping decision-makers understand how investments in employee movement translate into measurable returns.
The course begins by defining company sport and its benefits, highlighting evidence linking physical activity to increased productivity, engagement, satisfaction, and well-being. Learners explore the costs of inactivity, including absenteeism, presenteeism, and reduced performance, and understand how to leverage movement to enhance individual productivity.
At the team and organisational level, this course examines the role of physical activity in fostering cohesion, positive workplace culture, and employee engagement. Through case studies, testimonials, and quantitative insights, participants see how PA programs improve social climate, motivation, and collective performance, while supporting HR strategies and
organisational objectives.
The final module equips executives and HR leaders with practical tools to measure and demonstrate ROI, including KPIs, dashboards, calculators, business case templates, and action plans. Participants learn to present compelling evidence to executive committees, implement sustainable programs, and monitor long-term outcomes.
By the end of the course, learners will be able to quantify the impact of physical activity on both individual and organisational performance, develop strategies to integrate PA into corporate culture, and create a business case for investment. The MOOC provides actionable resources, infographics, and guides to translate evidence into effective decision-making, enabling organisations to foster healthier, more engaged, and higher-performing teams.
