The Wellbeing Month Walking Challenge

April was Global Wellbeing Month and BayWa r.e. took the theme seriously by taking up a Walking Challenge: From April 3 to April 30, every step counted - and our colleagues in the UK and Ireland put a real effort in! 

Our offices also organised team walks over the last couple of weeks to boost their step count. At the beginning of the month, our Edinburgh, Glasgow and Milton Keynes teams ventured out in the afternoon to local parks together. The weather was especially great - the perfect opportunity to enjoy a nice afternoon walk with your colleagues and to discover new places in your area!

Overall, our teams' achievements were beyond impressive: Our UK team walked more than 4,561 km throughout the month, and our Irish team covered just under 1,000 km by foot!

So, following the success of this year's Wellbeing Month, the UK team are also covering Mental Health Awareness week from May 15 to May 19 by providing more resources about the topic of anxiety. The local Health & Wellbeing team invited a speaker on this topic to raise awareness about what anxiety can look like and to offer tools on how to overcome anxiety.
