Fun-Filled Fitness Journey
At PG Paper, we believe that team spirit extends beyond the office. To promote health, wellness, and a sense of togetherness, we launched the Big Team Step Challenge , a fitness event designed to get everyone moving, whether it be through stepping, cycling or swimming.
This exciting challenge has brought our employees together, fostering a sense of friendly competition and camaraderie—all while encouraging healthy physical activity.
Stepping Towards a Healthier Workplace
In today’s fast-paced work environment, it’s easy to overlook the importance of staying active. The Big Team Step Challenge aims to combat that by motivating participants to take as many steps as possible during the challenge period.
Employees are assigned teams, set step goals, and track their progress over time. It’s more than just a fitness competition; it’s about encouraging healthy habits, promoting teamwork, and having fun along the way!
Our participants were divided up into 8 teams; all with the collective goal to make it around the designated virtual route, Walk Scotland :
Midway Highlights
As we reached the halfway point of the challenge, the enthusiasm continued to grow. Employees were stepping up, using every opportunity to increase their step count—from walking during lunch breaks to venturing up scenic landscapes on the weekends. The challenge has also sparked a sense of friendly rivalry, with teams pushing each other to achieve their personal bests.
Our team spirit has never been stronger, and the energy is encouraging. Whether it’s walking solo or participating in group activities, the focus was on staying active and supporting one another.
Global Participation: A Worldwide Movement
What makes the PG Paper Big Team Step Challenge even more special is the incredible participation from our team members across the globe. Employees have all joined forces to make this event a worldwide movement. Despite the distance, the collective energy and commitment of our global team have been nothing short of inspiring.
This truly global effort highlights the strength of our diverse and connected team, as everyone works together, regardless of time zones or location, to achieve one common goal: a healthier and more active lifestyle.
The Final Stretch
As we come to the end of our Big Team Challenge, we are thrilled about the lasting impact this challenge is having on our workplace.
The final results saw team “Paper Jam” climb to the top with an impressive 1290.6km stepped altogether.
It’s about more than winning—it’s about creating lasting habits that promote well-being, both mentally and physically. Our PG Paper team at Greenock HQ closed off the challenge by taking part in an early morning walk along the scenic views of the Clyde.
At PG Paper, we are committed to fostering a positive and healthy work environment. The Big Team Step Challenge is just one of many initiatives we have taken to ensure that our employees feel supported and engaged, both in and out of the office.
