A new lifestyle solution to increase the general health of the energy workforce has proved a success.
Well Track is a lifestyle programme addressing the major health issues affecting the industry workers, including obesity, smoking and homesickness.
The one-year pilot of the programme, developed by Sodexo and University of Aberdeen, has resulted in a drop in male participants’ blood pressure, increased job satisfaction and better health self-assessment by the participants, claims Simon Seaton, chief operating officer at Sodexo.

“What we’d like to see is that health becomes as important of the HSE equation as safety and environment is today.”
