And as the administrator - you will have a range of controls to manage, customize and analyze the effectiveness of your your walking program.
The Centers for Disease Control reports that physical activity saves 5-12% in medical costs per year. Physically fit people are also absent an average of two fewer days per year than people who are not physically fit.
Employees who walk to work arrive less stressed and more alert than those who drive alone. Happier employees tend to stay with their employers longer, reducing the high costs associated with losing and recruiting staff.

"...worksite health promotion programs can help reduce employee absenteeism and turnover, as well as control health care costs. Many studies have shown that consistent walking may provide a variety of health benefits, including weight loss, lower body mass index (BMI), blood pressure/hypertension control, potentially decreased caloric intake, and sense of well-being (specifically anxiety and tension reduction) or mental health improvement."
