Dear FIRSTNAME


Welcome to the Oaklyn Staff Welfare Initiative.  Historically, our company gives a high priority to the welfare of our employees.

We would like to thank you for taking part in the pilot exercise we carried out to survey the BMI of our staff.  BMI values indicate whether people are overweight.  Research has shown that people within a certain range of body size tend to live the longest and enjoy the best health.  Being overweight and being obese are increasing.  The percentage of adults who are obese has roughly doubled since the mid-1980s.  Some statistics are:

	Category	Index	Men	Women
	Underweight	<18.5	4%	6%
	Ideal	18.5-24.9	33%	41%
	Overweight	25.0-30.0	46%	32%
	Obese	>30	17%	21%

Your BMI is: RESULT

If your result indicates you are underweight, overweight or obese we would advise you to arrange an appointment with your doctor to discuss the health implications of this result.  We would also encourage you to look at your lifestyle and maybe change some of your lifestyle choices.

Many of our sites have on-site recreation facilities for staff and these facilities are accessible by close family members free of charge.  In addition, a number of initiatives are offered to all staff.

You may choose to benefit from any of the following offers.

Discounted membership fees at Rackets Fitness Centres
Discounted membership fees at IXL Health Clubs
Health Insurance Programme
Discounted holiday breaks

If you are concerned about your BMI or, if you wish to find out further details about the various initiatives detailed above, feel free to speak to the Oaklyn Staff Welfare Officer on your site.

Yours sincerely







Oaklyn Senior Staff Welfare Officer
