How?

How to do it

  1. Set a shared goal. Discuss within the team which goals can promote everyday physical activity, e.g.:

    • Increase daily physical activity
    • Have a shared exercise afternoon once a month
    • Take the stairs instead of the elevator
    • Introduce digital breaks for a month

  2. Choose a realistic and achievable goal that everyone can participate in.

  3. Make the goal visible. Post it in a common area or in internal communications.

  4. Follow up on the goal. Regularly share successes and experiences within the team.

  5. Reward progress. Give the team attention or small rewards for joint development.

Why?

Common goals strengthen the community and team spirit and create meaning in work. At the same time, common, meaningful goals support a positive work environment and encourage choices that promote well-being in the workplace.
