Natta Wellness Week 2022

Last week, the Natta Group celebrated and took part in our annual Wellness Week!

Throughout the week our Wellness Team arranged for Natta employees to participate in a few fun activities onsite at Head Office.  Despite the torrential rain and the profound sadness of The Queen passing away on Thursday, we showed resilience, pushed through it and completed the week.

The Tournaments:

During the week, we held Dodgeball, Boules and Short Tennis tournaments. The finals for each were played on Friday. The Dodgeball tournament winners were Simon King, Matt Benham, Daryl French, Olusola Sola-Ogunniyi, Rhys Godden, Lee Manders and Kassym Arif. Andrew Skinner won the Short Tennis tournament and the winner of the Boules tournament was our Natta Group Chairman, John J Whelan. Fantastic this year to see so many people taking part. Congratulations to all the winners.

Natta also held a ‘Site Step-a-thon challenge’ where some of our site teams signed up to get in as many steps as they could across the week to raise funds for Woking & Sam Beare Hospices.

Other Health & Wellbeing Sessions

Other activities ran alongside the sports tournaments throughout the week. These included a lunchtime Yoga session where employees were able to relax and unwind. We also hosted a mobile library that was kindly provided by Woking & Sam Beare Hospices. Here, Natta employees were able to browse and purchase a range of books, and all the money raised went to Woking & Sam Beare Hospice charity. Research shows that reading each day can reduce stress levels by 60%.

Health Checks

As part of the wellness week, we welcomed back Health Shield to the Natta Head Office to conduct several health checks for our staff. This confidential wellness assessment consisted of height, weight, blood pressure and blood checks. As well as providing results for blood pressure, BMI, body composition, cardiac risk, diabetic risk, cancer risk and more.

To bring the Wellness Week to a close, we held a wellness-based quiz. We would like to congratulate the following winners; John Whelan, Matt Sainty, Ryan Swinton and Lee Hedgeworth, who won the Wellness Week quiz.

A special thank you to our Wellness Team Adele Wells and Jon Hyam for organising the week and to everyone who took part in Wellness Week. We hope you all had fun.
