The grant program, called the Healthy Workplace Initiatives Program (HWIP) Fund, provides up to $5,000 dollars per department to undertake a Our particular application contained a proposal for a pedometer challenge, a cooking class for office staff as well as group yoga.
The details on all our facets are still forthcoming and will be rolling out throughout the year, but the we are going to kick off our program with the pedometer challenge throughout the summer. By providing staff with incentives to log as many steps as possible during the summer months, we hope that we can encourage everyone to bring a renewed vigor for exercise to work now that the weather is a bit more cooperative.
