A COMPANY named the Healthiest Workplace at the Sussex Business Awards last month is taking an innovative approach to further support staff.

Legal and General, in The Droveway, Hove, has teamed up with Weight Watchers.

It is now running weekly weight-loss meetings for staff, who are introduced to the holistic approach “SmartPoints”, which is focused on results beyond the scales.

Weight Watchers coach Georgina Read said: “Weight loss is much more than what you see on the scales each week and more about wellbeing in general.

“Research has shown us that happier people make healthier food choices.

“We are delighted Legal and General are passionate about health and wellbeing of staff.”
