Cork business people escaped from their offices and met some fellow workers in the city as part of a new initiative called ‘Netwalking’. It took place on 4 March 2020 during Local Enterprise Week.
The benefits of walking for health and productivity are well known and ‘Netwalking’ will gave workers a chance to ‘walk and talk’ while meeting other Cork city centre based businesses.
The first 45-minute walk began at outside Republic of Work last week. Light refreshments were served in Republic of Work on return. ‘Netwalking’ was a partnership between LEO Cork City, HSE and Republic of Work.
