Hi
We use workrave in a large department where I work with approximately 35,000 staff.
It has been raised by some staff members that they find the pictures of the female completing the exercises to be highly sexualised, inappropriate and not reflective of body images of society.
Could you please review the current pictures of the female that come up for the stretching exercises and notify me if these can be altered. 

Regards

Tanya Lynch

Hi Tanya,

Requests like yours come up from time to time. You are aware that it is possible to disable the exercises altogether? That should fix your immediate problem.

We are an understaffed volunteer organisation. Especially our creative person isn't volunteering as much as before. Hence, although we'd probably be able to replace these images, we do not have any new ones, nor any means of creating them.

Would it be possible for you/your organisation to contribute new images (if necessary with exercise texts)?

Thank you so much,

Kees-Jan
