Implementation: Unintended consequences
pre-lockdown
EVENTS, EVENT
Three positive unintended consequences of the pre-lockdown programme were reported by staff. The first was the adoption of a healthier diet by staff members, both individually and at group work events. The second was increased physical activity outside of work including swimming and Parkrun (free, community event where you can walk, jog, run, or volunteer). These were reported by several staff members and managers from Centre 11. Finally, there was interest and participation from other centres, departments and teams. Staff and managers from Centres 2, 11 and 10 mentioned that those visiting from other centres were intrigued by the equipment, and even used some of the equipment and participated in activities that were organised as a part of SUH. A negative unintended consequence mentioned during the post-lockdown period by one staff member from Centre 7 was the potential for injury while using equipment such as a balance board. A positive unintended consequence of the post-lockdown programme was the adoption of healthier diets by staff reported by two staff members from Centre 7.
