Health in Hand Calendar 2026

Introducing the 2026 Health in Hand Calendar: A Monthly Health & Wellbeing Guide for Employers

Our Health in Hand Calendar is more than just a calendar—it’s a complete, customisable toolkit for fostering a healthier, more engaged workforce. Each month offers targeted health resources, including webinars, literature, and practical support tailored to the unique needs of your team.

Why invest in staff wellbeing? Because healthier teams mean fewer absences, higher productivity, a stronger workplace culture and happy employees who feel supported and cared for.

Choose the topics that matter most to your business, or contact us to create a customised program that aligns with your company’s specific goals and values. Our flexible approach means that every resource can be adapted to reflect the unique needs of your workforce.

All active clients will be routinely sent our Health Promotion literature by email for distribution amongst their workforce or insured populations as they see fit. If you would like to receive these, please fill out the form beneath the calendar below.
