Meetings Must Be Held While Walking
At an Australian app development company, all internal meetings under 45 minutes must take place outdoors while walking. No exceptions. Rain or shine, the team straps on sneakers and hits the sidewalk. The idea is to avoid sedentary lifestyles and foster more dynamic conversations.
Not only has this improved physical health, but it’s also reportedly boosted creativity. Employees say that being in motion encourages freer thinking and makes it harder for discussions to stagnate. There’s even a leaderboard for most “steps-per-meeting,” which has created a strange, healthy form of competition. It’s brainstorming—on foot.
