In 2020, we started our Health is Wealth Initiative. The goal? Empower the mental and physical health of the Britec team.

The Health is Wealth Initiative was designed to offer our staff a friendly competition to ensure they stay active.

Our first challenge was to walk at least 5kms per day for 3 months, earning points for prizes. Those prizes have included GoPros, Suunto Sport Watches, Deuter Backpacks, and more!

The event was a success and brought our team together.

After those first 3 months, we expanded the target to 6km per day. To accommodate other fitness activities, we eventually created a chart that converted physical activity into walking kilometres, yielding some pretty amazing results:

Q1 2021 – Health is Wealth

Over the last 3 years, our staff has walked a collective 28,363.47 kilometres!
