Launching the Workplace Walkathon
On the launch day of the walkathon, information packs and pedometers should be distributed to all staff who are taking part in the event.
A brief presentation should be given to staff explaining the rationale behind the event, how the event will work, prizes on offer, and what will happen at the end of the event. The presentation should be light-hearted and fun.
To coincide with the launch, you may wish have a healthy morning or afternoon tea. You could also invite a special guest or motivational speaker to encourage staff to participate in the event, and motivate them to put in the effort to do well.
