Wellness Champion Spotlight: Walktober Team Captains

Walktober

Faced with shifting responsibilities and with many of their coworkers in new, remote work environments, the Wellness Champions continue to promote a healthy workplace culture by participating in Wellness Connection programming and encouraging their colleagues to do the same. The graphs below demonstrate that while Champions make up 4% of total Walktober participants, they led the way as Team Captains: 28% of all team leaders were Champions.

Approximately 3,000 WashU employees are participating in Walktober. My sincerest gratitude to our Champion network for helping to spread the word about this wellness challenge and motivating your colleagues to participate and take some time for self-care.

 Shout out to our Wellness Connection Champion Walktober Team Captains:
