ALL 1,000 employees at CPP, the card protection plan company in York, were being offered a health check this week.

It is part of Health Week, which began on Monday, consisting of a number of fun and interactive activities, including yoga and hands-on healing reiki demonstrations, mini fitness competitions, a Pedometer Team Challenge for the operations team and healthy eating options. Staff were also being encouraged to take up a free consultation with the many masseurs, reflexologists and aroma therapists on-site throughout the week.

Pippa James, occupational health adviser at CPP, is spearheading the Know Your Numbers campaign throughout this week and was available to employees for a 20-minute one-to-one session to check blood pressure, body fat index, cholesterol and caffeine intake.
