HFTeam - Healthy and Fit Work Team

The project »Healthy and Fit Work Team« is focusing on the current changes to dynamic of work and the impact that it has on employees health and the level of sport activities. In today's stressful times, we forget too many times that movement is a source of health. Since the Covid crisis employees started working from home in a much larger scale, which lead to and decrease in the level of physical activity of employees across all of the EU. Many employees suffer from a variety of pain due to prolonged sitting for a computer, standing work, repetitive movements etc. what causes many work-related illnesses. Many diseases can be avoided by regular daily exercise during work to strengthen the most exposed parts of the body. This project is focusing on developing & promoting a sport program for employees with different disabilities. The implementation of wellness programs and sport programs at work is rising in all EU countries, however there is a big lack of programs and adjustments for employees with disabilities, who are often left out because they can’t participate. We are also going to collect best practices how to increase the level of sport activities while working from home and on location to complement the developed sport program. The main project goal will be the development of the “HFTeam” sport program, which will include a set of workouts for employees that can be performed at home or office and best practices to improve the level of physical activity when working from home or office. A short set of exercises called "HFTeam" will be developed within the project partnership by sports professionals. The project will also focus on training of volunteers. Sport volunteers will be also trained for managing workouts for employees in companies with support of e-learning platform. Many different experts in the field of sport will cooperate together with the goal to develop innovative training program for employees with disabilities to be more physically active.
