Global Corporate Challenge 2011

Posted on May 19, 2011

 

This year Alliance Equipment Finance will be fielding two teams - The Alliance All stars and White Line Fever in the Global Corporate Challenge (GCC). By using a provided GCC pedometer members of the teams will record their daily walking activities to be plotted on a journey around the world.

 

The GCC

• Employees form teams of seven.
• Each participant receives a "GCC pack" that includes 2 pedometers.
• Over the 16 weeks of the GCC participants record and enter their daily step count (or bicycle and swimming distances) into the GCC website.
• The site adds individual step counts to their team total then converts this to a kilometre/mile distance, and plots the team's progression along a virtual tour of the world. The more active they are, the further they go, the healthier they become, the more productive your organisation becomes.
• During this journey, participants interact ‘virtually' with each location and can experience its customs, facts, history, foods, politics, and geography.
• Participants are also encouraged to look at their eating habits and are supported to change to a healthier diet with daily information, and weekly eating plans, provided by their own ‘Nutrition Coach'- the GCC nutritionist Shane Bilsborough MSc (Human Nutrition).
• With an individual target of 10,000 steps per day they hope to promote healthier lifestyles, team work and long term commitment.

 

The team welcome everyone to take part by increasing their daily activity levels to promote health and well being throughout the company.

 

Why not take a look at the GCC website to get a greater understanding of what it's all about.
