Corporate Wellness Walking Programs: We’ll Walk You Through

October is National Walking Month—a wonderful time to walk because the leaves are changing, the air is cool and breezy, and the sun is still out and shining. Your company may want to take advantage of this time by implementing a corporate wellness walking program. This program will encourage employees to get out and enjoy the weather while improving their health.

Corporate Wellness Walking Programs: We’ll Walk You Through

Did you know that October is National Walking Month? What better time to walk than when the leaves are changing, the air is cool and breezy (in most places) and the sun is still shining. Your company may want to take advantage of this time by implementing a corporate wellness walking program. The Wellworks For You walking challenges encourage employees to get out and enjoy the weather while improving their health.

Corporate wellness walking programs have become increasingly popular as corporations recognize the importance of the connection between the health of the body and the health of the brain. Employees can work better when they are healthy; moreover, prevention is much more cost-effective than treatment. Companies cut down on insurance costs when they incorporate customized workplace walking challenge ideas and programs.

What are Corporate Wellness Walking Programs?

Wellness walking programs are designed to inspire everyone to get into action and make walking a priority. In a typical walking program, individuals track their steps with a pedometer, fitness tracking app, or minutes spent walking in order to reach a goal of steps/minutes per day.

Typically a goal of around 10,000 steps (close to five miles) is recommended. Over a typical 6-12 week span, individuals become habituated to incorporate walking into their routines while having fun and bonding with their colleagues. Programs may vary in length, systems used, incentives, and structure (for example, employees can be separated into teams and make group goals or compete individually). Ultimately, a wellness walking program should help everyone in the company improve their health and build a positive company culture at the same time.
