Liftshare Helps Organisations Get Staff On Their Feet

May celebrates National Walking month, organised by Living Streets – the UK’s charity for every day walking.

For 19-64 year olds, the recommended time of weekly physical activity is 150 minutes. That’s just over 21 minutes a day. However, NHS statistics show that ¼ of adults in that age bracket do less than 30 minutes of physical activity… a WEEK!

In 2017, a government survey found that only 7% of all walking trips were for commuting purposes. With 32.4 million people commuting to work in some way daily, that is a very small percentage.

This May, encourage your colleagues to walk to work if their commute is within a reasonable walking distance to site.

Choosing to walk has many benefits beyond burning a few extra calories and getting some fresh air.

Living Streets reports that regular exercise boosts overall work performance by about 15%. Added to that, a highly engaged workforce is thought to improve operating income by 19.2%. Take a look at the other benefits here.
