Start a Walking Campaign

Motivating Your Employees

Start a Walking Campaign | Promotional Material

While WalkingWorks® participants can be rewarded with better health, we can all use an incentive or two to get us going. As you implement your program, you might want to consider offering a few incentives to your employees to keep them motivated.

Here are a few ideas:

  • Company logo t-shirts
  • Pedometers (available for purchase at a low-cost through the Employer Toolkit)
  • Discounts from local stores on walking shoes
  • Discounts on memberships to local fitness clubs
  • Lunchtime walking groups
  • Time off to walk
  • Vacation days as rewards
  • Free subscriptions to fitness magazines
  • Competitions between departments
  • Certificates and ribbons for walkers
  • Articles in your company newsletter promoting WalkingWorks participants and activities
