Background information – WMP project

The WMP project is a 24-month project co-funded by the European Commission through the Erasmus+ Sport 2023 programme and coordinated by the French Federation for Company Sport (FFSE). It aims to promote active and healthy lifestyles in Europe by developing the practice of Physical and Sports Activities (PSA) in the workplace.

The WMP project is the first EU study on the effects of PSA for employees’ performance and well-being. The FFSE is implementing the project with 8 partner organisations : the University of Copenhagen (Denmark), the University of Murcia (Spain), the European Federation for Company Sport (France), the Association for Sport in the Free Time (Bulgaria), the French National Olympic Committee (France), the Sports Association of Bank of France (France), the Authority For Integrity In Maltese Sport (Malta) and the European Network for Innovation and Knowledge (Netherlands).

On 15 and 16 February, the 9 partner organisations of the project met in Paris, at the headquarters of the Banque de France, for the official launch of the project.

On the first day, the participants were able to introduce themselves, as well as to share their professional experience and their expectations regarding the implementation of the WMP project. The representatives of the French Federation for company Sport (FFSE) and the European Federation for Company Sport (EFCS) reviewed the development of company sport in the broad sense of the term in France and Europe in recent years and pointed out that this practice could meet the EU’s objectives in terms of mental and physical health.

On the second day, the project coordinator, the French Federation for Company Sport exposed the project’s objectives, key stages and overall timetable as well as the division of tasks between the partnership were presented.

One shared general objective: Improving workplaces by making them conductive to the physical and mental health of workers.

The project’s academic and scientific partners – the University of Copenhagen and the University of Murcia representatives – presented their methodology for conducting the quantitative and qualitative study on the link between employees’ physical activity, their performance and their well-being. Initially, they will draw up a review of studies published on the subject and existing practices. The preliminary analysis of needs will be carried out with employees and decision-makers/managers. This will involve taking stock of expectations, needs and obstacles to introducing physical activity into the daily life of the company.

It is important to remember that the aim of the project is to create concrete tools for private and public decision-makers, based on the studies that will be carried out during the project.
