Lend Lease, Hanover Square

Lend Lease operates in three core regions; Asia Pacific, Europe and the US and covers 43 countries on six continents. In April 2007 Lend Lease at Hanover Square were recruited to pilot Activate Your Workplace (AYW), with view to the model being developed in other offices.

The company was keen to develop a model for workplace health under the supervision of a newly appointed Health and Wellness Manager. Lend Lease re-launched the AYW scheme re-branded as Mind, Body, and Soul on the 7th March 2008.

Lend Lease employees have had the opportunity to sign up for yoga classes, a running club, and a Pedometer Challenge and to give suggestions for future interventions. Yoga has been over subscribed and internal feedback has been positive.

The aim was to test this model for workplace health at one site and role out, where appropriate within the organisation. This objective has already been achieved and Mind, Body, and Soul is currently being developed in another site. Their pilot programme has really helped them find a model for workplace health that works for them.
