Hello everyone! Spring is here and the season of wellness walking approaches! Before we start counting steps, I wanted to reach out to announce another wellness initiative that will support our walking challenges. In an effort to make our walking challenges more accessible to employees, the Wellness team has purchased a number of fitness tracking watches. We’ve heard from many employees who say they don’t normally carry their phone on them for a variety of reasons, and we wanted to provide an option for everyone to have all steps counted throughout the day! The fitness trackers we purchased are compatible with Apple or Android phones, and function with the free version of the Pacer app we use for our walking challenges. Starting today and running through Friday, April 17th, eligible employees will be able to sign up to enter a drawing for one of the fitness trackers. See your site leaders for the sign up sheet!

Steps This Month

Hello everyone! I’ve posted a challenge in the app to allow the twelve employees who recorded base times back in April to see how much they have improved after a summer of walking/running! Anyone is welcome to record a time, but prizes will only be awarded to those who started the race back in April, based on who has the most improved one mile times! As a reminder, if you walked your mile in April, you need to do the same this month, and if you ran in April, you need to run in October. You can record as many GPS tracked activities as you want before the end of the month, the challenge will only keep your best time. Prizes will be rewarded to most improved walker and runner overall, and most improved walker and runner per location (the same person cannot be counted as the overall winner and site winner). Look forward to seeing how everyone does! -Brian G.
