Why Active Book Club....
There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.
- Desmond Tutu
Prevention Pays Off
Most adults are struggling to move enough, rest properly, eat well or switch off. At work, this shows up as health-related productivity issues, absenteeism, preventable chronic conditions and burnout, costing organisations time, money and good people.​ Every dollar invested in preventative health delivers up to 600% ROI in retention and performance.

How Active Book Club Works
For Your People
Move
Active Book Club is an invitation to give your brain and body a screen break and build movement back into the work day. Combine listening to the health, wellbeing or personal growth audiobook of the month with a lunchtime walk, a ‘commute around the block’ after working from home or 10 minutes to stretch and reset before the next meeting.
Reflect
