Week 1 Challenge #iPledge

Our first challenge in the Step into Summer competition focused on employees making the pledge to increase their step count. With our goal being 10,000 steps a day, it is important to think about things we can do daily to be more active. We asked you to complete the #iPledge form to share what you are going to do to boost your steps throughout the competition. Check out what employees said across the company.
