Activity challenges play a big role in companies’ annual wellness programs. Walking campaigns and other fitness-related competitions serve as an important wellness tool to reach and engage large groups of employees. And, when the activities are connected to charitable and community-based organizations, we find an increase in participation along with the goodwill that develops between the company and the community.
