Groov-Pin is challenging employees in each plant to come together and walk 950 miles to mark the company’s 95th anniversary on May 20, 2021.
Employee wellness has become an increasingly important focus for Groov-Pin. We began our wellness journey in 2015, establishing walking challenges and other healthcare benefits and incentives. In 2019, we branded our program GP Fit and developed new initiatives as well as a monthly health and wealth newsletter for employees.
A lot has changed over the years, but the core mission of our program – to empower employees to make positive choices and advocate for their physical, mental, and financial health – has remained true.
It is fitting to celebrate this milestone anniversary with a walking challenge because Walk to Wellness has remained the most popular initiative in our program.
The 950-Mile Challenge
For the 95th Anniversary 950-mile challenge, we are calling on employees to take steps to help each plant in Rhode Island and Georgia reach 950 miles by the end of the challenge.
Participants will earn raffle tickets as they log their steps each week. These tickets will be used for gift baskets containing prizes related to significant events in Groov-Pin’s history!
The four-week challenge will begin on Thursday, April 22, 2021, and end on the anniversary, May 20, 2021. We hope to further celebrate this event with cookouts over the summer.
