The Challenge for Wellbeing

When it comes to getting staff excited about wellbeing, there's nothing like a good challenge. Take this recent headline about Nestle for example: Nestle staff walk more than eight kilometres a day in major wellbeing initiative

It really goes to show how the right wellbeing initiatives can capture the imagination of staff and motivate them to action and to great results. We're all for this.

During a recent leadership programme we ran a similar initiative and participants managed to walk up to 11 miles (18km) a day! And this while spending much of the programme sitting down in a lecture theatre.

It's amazing what the right motivation, a group challenge and a bit of healthy competition can do. And it proves that small steps really do produce big results.
