SHORT NOTICE (for a newsletter slot or internal post) ================================================================ Join Novo Step Challenge Colleagues across Novo will be counting steps together. You form a team of three or more, and every step during the day counts — walking to a meeting, taking the stairs, a lap outside at lunch. There is no training goal and nothing to qualify for. That is the point of it. What we need now are team captains. If you are willing to gather a couple of colleagues and get a team started, sign up on our Novo page. The page is made for us, so your team is connected to Novo automatically. Sign up: [link] ================================================================ C. FULL ARTICLE (for an intranet page) ================================================================ Join Novo Step Challenge A fortnight of movement, across every site and every country. Novo Step Challenge is a team-based step campaign. Colleagues form teams of three or more, count their steps through the working day, and follow their team's progress against the others. It is deliberately easy to join. There is no training goal, no minimum fitness, and nothing to qualify for. Walking to a meeting counts. Taking the stairs counts. A lap around the building at lunch counts. That inclusiveness is the whole design: this is a campaign for the colleague who has never entered a company sports event, not only for the one who already runs. HOW TO TAKE PART 1. Become a team captain, or find one. A team is three people or more. Someone has to go first — it may as well be you. 2. Create the team on our Novo page. It takes a couple of minutes. 3. Invite your colleagues by email, straight from your team page. 4. Walk. Record your steps each day using your phone, an activity watch or a pedometer. FOR COLLEAGUES OUTSIDE DENMARK The page is in English and Danish, and is available at every Novo location. There is no local setup and no local organiser required. Use your Novo work email and you are connected. Sign up: [link]
