Given how much time we spend working either in the office or at home, it’s important to make space for physical activity outside of our busy schedules. Our workforce walking initiative is designed to support a healthier workplace by helping colleagues build regular walking into their week, benefiting both physical and mental wellbeing.
The walk is held every Wednesday at lunchtime – with the intention to promote across the workforce in line with GM Walking festival. The walk is short and accessible for council staff and partner organisations. It’s ideal for any colleague who is new to exercise, hasn’t been active for a while, or simply needs a bit of motivation to get moving.
It brings together people from different departments and partner agencies, offers a chance to connect with nature in Alexandra Park, and helps foster a stronger sense of community across the workforce.
