How to do it
-
Agree on common guidelines for when to hold meetings during walks—for example, on a certain day of the week, when the agenda does not include presentations or items that require screen use, or when it involves group work.
-
The walk does not always have to be effective or productive. It can also be a shared breather in the middle of the meeting.
-
Choose a route in advance or set out without a specific plan. During the walk, you can talk about planning, ideas, or give each other feedback.
-
Consider a suitable route that suits everyone and take weather conditions into account.
-
Walking meetings can open up new conversations and lighten the mood. Make it a habit to share your observations and the benefits of the method.
Walking promotes concentration, increases well-being at work, and creates a culture where exercise is a natural part of the working day. The meetings can be both youth meetings and work meetings with colleagues.
