Hazell Bros has entered nine teams in a Global Corporate Challenge - encouraging office based employees to "walk the talk".  Each team consists of seven employees, and the total number of participants equates to 12% of the Company's workforce.

The Global Corporate Challenge (GCC) is a program that has reinvented the way businesses can encourage employees to stay healthy, by founding everything on one principle - fun. They have created an event that not only gets results, it engages your workforce.

Employees take a virtual walk around the world, tracking steps and recording them on the GCC website.

"This has brought everyone together, and made us think about our health.  We have got some great rivalry going, checking out how many steps each other has done." Rennee Giles - Smirgks Team

"It's a great idea, and our team is really excited about working together on this." Debbie Beswick - Stuart's Angels Team

"We are all talking about it.  As we start seeing our teams moving around the world, it will become really exciting." Jordan Turner - Rockin' Rollers Team

"Being over the winter months, this will help me keep more active and stay fit." Dory Sutherland - Smirgks Team

Increased staff fitness, teamwork, a positive competitive spirit, and an active, healthy and more productive workforce are one of the outcomes - but mostly Hazell Bros is looking forward to fun and enjoyment from this experience.
