Hanson Mold and Hanson Logistics, located in St. Joseph, Michigan, signed up their employees for Walkingspree, an online program that tracks steps using pedometers. Over 55% of employees from both companies participate. The program encourages walking at least 6,000 steps per day for health benefits. Hanson's goal is to reduce healthcare costs by promoting employee wellness. Their top walkers average over 10,000 steps daily and have lost weight, earning prizes for their efforts. The companies plan to continue motivating employees with walking competitions.
