Colorado School Districts Go Head to Head in Walktober Walking Challenge

Just Ask
Taking wellness surveys is a great way to find out what your population really wants. You can easily gauge what activities are making a difference and which ones flopped. Keeping the conversation open-ended will lead to more quality feedback and new ideas.

Capitalize on Intrinsic Motivation
For these organizations, camaraderie and district pride were powerful motivators. What gets your population excited? What will generate chatter in your workplace? Do your best to inspire participants with the things they actually care about — not just pricey incentives (which don’t support long-term behavior change).
