The Official 10,000 Steps® Programme – April 2010
About the event
Developed by Vitality Works' health researchers Dr. Louise Schofield and Dr. Clara Soper, the Official 10,000 Steps® Programme is based on scientific research that has been proven to achieve outstanding results.
The clever design of this workplace team walking challenge is a proven success for energising the workforce, enhancing teamwork and revitalising health and productivity in your office.
Thousands of employees have already participated in this highly successful programme. Wearing pedometers to measure daily steps, they've achieved amazing results both at a personal and business level, resulting in behaviour change, reduced absenteeism and workplace stress and increased productivity and employee engagement.
Key Dates
The Official 10,000 Steps® Program is a 7-10 week team based walking challenge, using pedometers to measure daily steps. It has motivating and competitive elements with an overall goal of encouraging staff to join a team, get active and complete their daily personal challenge.
TravelWise will be encouraging workplaces to start a programme in April 2010.
