1,000 Steps Challenge

1000 steps

About

In September, we embarked on an incredibly exciting health initiative that perfectly aligned with our core company values of Integrity, Trust, Collaboration, and To be our Best. Our "Step into September" challenge encouraged Australia wide participation. The goal of our initiative was to encourage everyone to complete 10,000 steps a day. The theme wasn't just about hitting the target but about embracing a healthy mindset, getting involved, and supporting each other as teams. This aspect of the challenge truly brought out the creative and collaborative spirit in our employees, with interesting team names emerging like "The Deep Heat Dashers" and "Deep Feet."

The challenge extended beyond just walking. Other exercises and activities likeYoga andGardening also counted towards the step count, making it an inclusive event for everyone regardless of their preferred form of exercise. It was fantastic to see everyone getting involved, creating a buzz in the office, and adding some extra walking and talking to our daily routines.

The aptly named team "Steptembers" emerged as the overall winners, with one outstanding individual achieving a total of 657,528 steps for the month. This remarkable feat exemplifies the spirit of pushing oneself to be the best.

Many appreciated the initiative for bringing awareness to the importance of daily exercise and providing insight into their daily movement. We look forward to continuing this tradition next year. Every step counts, and together, we are fostering a culture of health, wellness, and teamwork. Let’s keep moving forward, motivated, and striving to be our best!
