Benefits to Business

There is no doubt that good health in the workplace saves money. It is a medical fact that well hydrated and nourished people are more resistant to illness and will recover more quickly if they do become ill. Just a 2% loss of body water can result in a 10% drop in physical and mental performance. By increasing water intake to eight glasses a day you can:

1. Keep energy levels up
2. Prevent headaches
3. Maintain concentration
4. Reduce stress and mood swings
5. Reduce risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease.

Introduction

Water@work is an initiative created by Unison designed to promote the benefits of drinking tap water. Promoting good health in the workplace and taking steps to enable this is not as easy as it sounds. This is why Unison and its strategic partners, featured on this website, have developed resources to help you understand the benefits of drinking tap water to both employers and employees.

The water@work team have been actively working with MPs to support our campaign. To find out more information regarding parlimentary questions and an Early Day Motion click on this link and this particular Parliamentary Question from Dr Ashok Kumar MP.
