Get Moving Challenge

All US employees are invited to sign up to an annual wellness and exercise program. During 2022, 172 employees across 15 teams participated in the ‘Get Moving’ challenge. All participants received a cooling headband and those that completed the most activity during the challenge received health-related prizes. Participants logged over 4,800 hours of activity.

Our ‘Get Moving’ challenge was hugely popular. It kicked off in June and was open to everyone working at our various locations in the Americas. We ended up with 172 participants and 15 teams. Everyone who signed up received a cooling headband and a gift card. As well as logging the time you were active, we all had to take part in three 30-minute fitness sessions each week over a six-week period. Altogether we logged 292,478 minutes of activity. I was thrilled to be named the winner of the 2022 ‘Get Moving’ challenge and I’ll definitely take part again. Getting active is good for your mind and health generally.
