Get MOVE-ing this August and sign your workplace up to the Jeans for Genes workplace health and wellness challenge and be the top MOVE-ers in the Western Sydney Business Connection.

MOVE this August and challenge your team to be superheroes for the 1 in 20 kids who have cancer or other genetic diseases.

What is MOVE? You and your colleagues will commit to MOVE your own way, get active for 20 minutes a day and log your progress via the Jeans for Genes portal to compete with your colleagues to be the top MOVE-er!

The team at Novartis loved being superheroes for sick kids last year and Customer Operations Manager, Alex Sharpe, says: “We loved being able to get behind this very worthwhile cause and are already wondering how we can upscale for this year.”

The MOVE challenge focuses on educating your team on developing positive workplace health and wellness practices. Plus, research shows that regular exercise and self-care not only boosts productivity but also transforms workplace dynamics, increasing employee satisfaction and fostering a more engaged team. Moving can mean anything from going for a walk with colleagues, swimming, running, Pilates and yoga, to meditation and stretching. It’s up to your team how they MOVE 20 minutes per day throughout August.
