Walking Works is our programme for embedding the culture of walking into workplaces.
We have years of experience working with workplaces to increase walking amongst employees.
Following the major changes to ways of working for many businesses through the pandemic, the programme has been re-developed to flexibly adapt to every business need and work pattern.

Boost morale and job satisfaction
Demonstrating that you care about staff health and wellbeing by investing in walking activities will make them feel valued and proud of their workplace.
Improve staff performance
Regular exercise causes an overall work performance boost of about 15%.
Promote physical and mental health
Walking helps prevent diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and depression. Being engaged in meaningful activities at work is an important part of good mental health.
Reduce absenteeism
Walking schemes can reduce the amount of sick days taken by staff, leading to lower absenteeism costs for the business.
Enhance corporate image
Increased walking rates can also help towards ISO 14001 and 2600 targets; reducing the need for cars is better for both the environment and the employees’ health.
Return on investment
A highly engaged workforce can improve operating income by 19.2%.
