In April, it was time to Step It Up. We challenged you to increase your physical activity by walking more and tracking your steps. You took that challenge and walked with it! Over the course of 28 days, you recorded an impressive number of steps, and we heard great stories about the friendly competition taking place among associates. Can you step it up even more?

Three companywide winners and the average daily steps per associate:

Gold: #704 Melbourne, Fla. – 8,337
Silver: #1501 Orlando, Fla. – 8,099
Bronze: CEO/President’s office & strategy support, Lakeland, Fla. – 7,323

Companywide totals:

5.1 billion steps recorded
