Healthy Holidays Step Challenge Starts Soon

The holiday season has begun! It’s a time when we gather and spend quality time with friends and family. It’s also a time when we tend to indulge in the best of the season and have less time to focus on our health and well-being. Walking is a great way to manage stress, maintain a healthy weight and increase energy levels.

Starting December 5, you and your Area can take charge of your well-being with our Healthy Holidays Step Challenge. Register for this 12-day step challenge and take the right steps with your coworkers, family, or on your own towards a healthy holiday season.

The challenge begins on Monday, December 5 through Friday, December 16.

Employees and their spouses who are enrolled in any Republic Services benefits plan and are enrolled with Rally are eligible to participate. Once you achieve the one-mile step goal, you are eligible to earn a $25 e-gift card.
