ADHD – Do you have a male child aged 7-12 years<\/h3>\n

We are seeking 120 male children aged 7-12 years (both with and without ADHD) to take part.\u00a0 Read more information<\/a> or contact Tracy Taylor (Project Manager) tracy.taylor@monash.edu<\/a> or\u00a0x24560<\/p>\n

Monash Sport news and offers<\/h2>\n
Why fit staff are good for business<\/h3>\n
Keeping your employees satisfied through sports is almost as important as through bonuses, perks or other working conditions.
![\"Boxing](\"https:\/\/edit.blogs-monash-edu.salsa.hosting\/timeout-newsletter\/files\/2012\/02\/Boxing-023-edited.JPG\")
<\/p>\nAn employee that is less fit or active is less equipped when it comes to managing stress or maintaining energy levels, which in turn contributes to different sickness and disease that could affect a workplace\u2019s performance and productivity.<\/p>\n
Findings from workplace studies at Monash University suggest that companies that introduce workplace health programs enhance employee performance, creating a healthier work environment and aiding in employee retention.<\/p>\n
![\"sitelogo\"](\"https:\/\/edit.blogs-monash-edu.salsa.hosting\/timeout-newsletter\/files\/2012\/02\/sitelogo.jpg\")
The study of 2011 Australian Fitness & Health Expo also found that most employees now recognise the personal benefits of fitness programs in providing better mental health, happiness and ability to cope with stress. It was added that the new primary motivator for people to exercise was to feel good, rather than to simply looking good.<\/p>\nThe Staff Wellbeing and Activity Program (SWAP) is a joint project between Monash Sport and Wellbeing at Monash and provides an opportunity for staff groups to get active.\u00a0 The program caters to all ages and fitness levels and is a great way for everyone to achieve their fitness goals and at the same time can\u00a0improve staff wellbeing, productivity and morale. Give a new meaning to a\u00a0‘healthy business today’<\/a><\/p>\n
