There is overwhelming evidence to prove that moderate physical activity (even 15 minutes before and after work each day), can significantly enhance well-being, productivity and reduce absenteeism. Senior executive support is vital in maintaining and improving the National Walk to Work Day Program. The person registering must be at senior executive level and authorised to make such commitments. Please also enter the details of the person in your organisation who can be contacted, if necessary, regarding National Walk to Work Day. We pledge to support the objectives of National Walk to Work Day on Friday 3 October 2008 which are: To promote regular walking as a healthy activity (better physical, mental & social health) To reduce the reliance on the private motor vehicle (reduce car-dependency) To promote and improve the use of public transport (less traffic) To improve air quality by reducing unnecessary vehicle emissions (reduce global warming) Wherever feasible, we will actively encourage all our employees to participate in and support National Walk to Work Day. We will encourage them to leave their cars at home and walk all the way or catch public transport to within walking distance from work and then walk the rest of the way. Where public transport is not an option, we will ask employees to leave their cars at least a kilometre away from work and walk the remaining distance. Otherwise we will encourage all employees to walk for at least half an hour during lunch-time. We also pledge, that wherever feasible, we will "Host a Healthy Breakfast" for all employees who take part in the event and we will encourage other corporations and organisations, friends and colleagues to join the Walking Class Heroes and participate in National Walk to Work Day Privacy: The only information which will be released is the name of the corporations and organisations which have registered as WTWD Ambassadors.
