Warm-up and step into the Walking Challenge for 2024!
The Walking Challenge is a great opportunity to connect with your colleagues outside of work, participate in some healthy competition, and work together to achieve your wellbeing goals.
This year’s challenge invites you to take 10,000 steps a day and virtually experience the gorgeous Italian coastline, uncovering more of its beauty as you record your steps on the Health at Work platform.
This year, we have some fantastic prizes on offer. Here is what you could win for yourself and your team.
