March kick-offs with a new initiative for healthier workplaces by Europe Region World Physiotherapy
Our official campaign partner, Europe Region World Physiotherapy, has recently launched a communication campaign aimed at fostering healthier and more active work environments entitled 'Move at Work.' This endeavour aligns with the Healthy Workplaces Campaign. Notably, the current edition ‘Safe and healthy work in the digital age’ highlights, among other aspects, the impact of digitalisation on psychosocial risk factors such as work-life balance, and concerns related to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), like repetitive tasks.
Projected to span one year, the campaign will feature weekly social media posts offering practical tips to mitigate the risks of MSDs and address mental health issues in the workplace. The organiser extends an open invitation to all members of the Europe Region, as well as other organisations involved in the domain of health, trade unions, business associations, to partake in this effort. Participation is flexible, allowing the collaborators to engage at their discretion and for the duration they deem necessary.
Interested parties can express their intent to join the campaign by sending an email to secretariat@erwcpt.eu with the subject line ‘Participation Move At Work Communication Campaign.’ The application should include a brief overview of the organisation, specifying its international, European, or national (with country indication) scope, along with the contact details of the designated communication person. Following the reception of interest, the contact person will receive the monthly campaign kit.
