Staff are competing with colleagues from different offices in a step marathon (Stepathon), to encourage an active lifestyle. 

The two-week Stepathon is already under way across the company - which also has office in Edinburgh - and ends on 22 May.

Mental Health Awareness Week this year focuses its theme on anxiety.

To support the week iPensions is holding yoga workshops on the importance of posture during the workday, as well as sessions on building resilience and handling pressure in the workplace.

The activities build on a range of support throughout the year which includes workshops on the links between lifestyle and mental and physical wellbeing, as well as practical solutions and tips to integrate healthy habits into staff’s busy lives.

iPensions chief executive Sandra Robertson said: “We place a high priority on supporting our staff with their mental health and general wellbeing as they are crucial to the success of our business and the maintenance of the highest possible levels of service for customers.

“Supporting Mental Health Awareness Week is just part of our expanding focus on wellbeing in the workplace.”

Mental Health Awareness Week is run by the Mental Health Foundation.

The charity said: “Focusing on anxiety for this year's Mental Health Awareness Week will increase people's awareness and understanding of anxiety by providing information on the things that can help prevent it from becoming a problem. At the same time, we will keep up the pressure to demand change - making sure that improving mental health is a key priority for the government and society as a whole.”
