Two days of health and wellbeing advice for Haymarket Media staff

Haymarket Media has run its first corporate wellbeing event for two days to help staff maintain a healthy lifestyle.

The publisher of Media Week, PR Week, Management Today, What Car, Stuff - and HR magazine, is offering staff free fruit, free massages, help with healthy eating and quitting smoking as well as blood pressure checks, as part of the initiative held at its London offices in Hammersmith and Teddington.

Representatives from Virgin Active Gyms, MBT shoes and The Beauty Clinic were on hand to give employees advice on how to stay fit and healthy. And the firm also used the opportunity to promote its cycle to work scheme and employee assistance programme.

Haymarket's HR director, Kim Liddiard, said: "Haymarket believes as well as a good work-life balance it is important for employees to enjoy a healthy-fit-life balance, especially at the moment with the added pressures the current economic environment brings.

"These two days are focused on providing information to help employees maintain a healthy lifestyle through exercise, healthy food options and taking time to relax. The board is fully supportive of this HR initiative."
