What is WalkingWorks?
As part of the City's wellness program, the “WalkingWorks” challenge encourages employees to get and stay active! Prizes were awarded weekly through random drawings. Our top 3 teams each one prizes; as well as our Golden Sneaker award for the department with the most participation.
Participation was voluntary, and participants walked or exercised on their own time. However, employees were advised to wear a pedometer or other device all day long to count steps including at home (morning/evening) and during the lunch hour.
