WALK DURING YOUR WORKDAY On 7 April, workers across the Netherlands are urged to take a break from their laptops and step outside their (home)offices for a stroll on Walk During Your Workday 2022. As well as a great excuse to soak up some spring sunshine, there are all kinds of other benefits: walking for half an hour significantly enhances concentration, energy and creativity. Since its launch in 2016, this initiative has become a national event with growing participation among employers and employees. This year the name has changed, however, from ‘Walk to Work Day’ to ‘Walk During Your Workday’, to encourage walking from every kind of workplace. Rotterdam is making this year’s edition extra festive with the official celebratory unveiling of the ‘Weetingroute’ (walking+meeting route) around Rotterdam Central District, offering a creative diversion plus fun facts about the district for your workday stroll.
