Moving Together: Reflecting on DACI’s Third Annual Steps Challenge

Looking after our people means looking beyond the work we do. At DACI, we recognise that physical and mental wellbeing play an important role in creating a positive working environment where everyone feels supported, connected and able to thrive.

In May, #TeamDACI marked Mental Health Awareness Month with the third edition of our annual Steps Challenge, bringing colleagues together across our offices and sites to get moving, build healthy habits and support one another.

From daily commutes and site walks to lunch breaks and weekend dog walks, colleagues found opportunities to fit more movement into their routines. The challenge provided a simple but meaningful way to stay active, take a break from busy schedules and connect with teammates across different locations.

More Than Just Counting Steps

While the challenge encouraged everyone to increase their daily activity, its purpose went beyond reaching step targets. It was also a reminder that wellbeing can be supported through small, everyday actions.

Taking a short walk between meetings, stepping away from a desk for a reset or checking in with a colleague can all contribute to a healthier working environment. Equally, creating a culture where people feel comfortable speaking up and looking out for one another is an important part of supporting mental wellbeing.

Bringing #TeamDACI Together

One of the highlights of this year's challenge was seeing colleagues across DACI's offices take part, share their progress and motivate one another along the way.

The team results, recorded between 11 and 18 May, reflected the collective effort and enthusiasm behind the challenge. More importantly, the initiative gave colleagues another opportunity to connect beyond their day-to-day responsibilities and work towards a shared goal.

Continuing the Conversation Around Wellbeing

Although the Steps Challenge has now come to an end, the message behind it remains important throughout the year.

At DACI, we believe that strong teams are built on more than technical expertise and professional achievements. They also depend on people feeling valued, supported and connected. By encouraging healthy habits, open conversations and everyday acts of consideration, we can all contribute to a workplace where people feel better equipped to do their best work.

A big thank you to everyone across #TeamDACI who took part in this year's challenge and helped make it a success. Let's keep moving, supporting one another and making wellbeing part of our everyday routine.
