The Active Workplaces StepTember challenge ran for the month of September, with 61 teams upping their activity levels with a fun, achievable step challenge.

The goal for each team was to accumulate as many steps as possible over the four-week period with the opportunity to earn bonus points for sending in photos and sharing stories of activities with whānau and friends.

The StepTember challenge created a fun and competitive challenge and also led to staff connecting with each other for lunchtime and after work activities. Photos have even been sent from halfway across the world as team members still wanted to be part of the challenge while on holiday!

Check out what the participants had to say:

“StepTember has really made me think about increasing my daily activity as sitting in my office isn’t enough steps in my day!”

“As a team we enjoyed getting out at lunch to up our steps around the Loop”

“Thank you for organising the challenge it’s been so motivating”
