The USPS Benefits and Wellness team is encouraging employees to lace up and step into Walktober, a six-week wellness challenge running from Oct. 1 to Nov. 7 that promotes physical activity, social connection and fall fun.
Participants are encouraged to set a goal of 6,000-10,000 steps a day and they can watch as their virtual Walktober tree fills with leaves of red, orange and gold as they progress.
There will also be a chance to play Walktober bingo, where participants mark off activities such as walking with a furry friend, capturing a colorful landscape or enjoying a seasonal treat.
Employees can join as individuals or create a team of up to five.
Registration is required on the USPS Walktober website.
Participation is voluntary. Nonexempt employees must participate off the clock or during authorized breaks.
Employees who have questions can email the USPS Benefits and Wellness team.
