Shape Up Notts!

As an employer it’s sometimes hard to inspire your staff to get out there an exercise.  With the best will in the world sometimes improving cycling and walking facilities just isn’t enough, you have to motivate them to succeed.  And that’s where Shape Up Notts! comes in.

Shape Up Notts is an innovative website, that awards points for exercise undertaken (with more strenuous or longer workouts earning higher points) and what do points mean?  Prizes!

Yes, you did read that correctly, by signing up to the Shape Up Notts website and joining the Workplace Challenge you can earn cash prizes of up to £5,000 for your business.  All you have to do, once you’ve registered, is check in regularly and add a diary entry for the length, type and intensity of exercise you’ve done. 
To make it easier you can set up a preferred activity if there’s something that you do everyday (cycling to work, for example), then each day you just click on the day, click on your activity and you’re on your way to £5,000…

If yours is just a small company you can still take part!  The prize money is split into two prizes of £2,500 each – one for the company with the most points and another with the most average points per staff member.

More help is available in motivating your staff in the form of Workplace Champions.  If you’ve got a team member who lives for a challenge and thrives on motivating others to do the same they can become a Workplace Champion.  It’s their job to check that everyone in the office is registered and adding their diary entries daily, as a reward for all their hard work, they will receive vouchers and sports kits.

Has that got you all fired up about getting fit?  If so then visit http://www.sportnottinghamshire.co.uk/workplace-challenge.php or contact Vanessa Clements for details.
