A challenge that engaged employees and brought them together!
Team building and CSR activities that were engaging and open to all employees
Summary
Preparations
Launching the program went smoothly and participants were keen to join the competition. In the very first weeks of the campaign, it turned out we had underestimated the engagement. The app went with participants even on their holidays and summer trips 😁.
We divided the challenge into three monthly editions, where participants could log activities on wheels, on foot and workouts. We wanted to invite all employees of the company to take part, whatever kind of work they do.
How the challenge went
Employees could form 6-person groups themselves and support each other in their daily activities. 23 engaged teams were created, and as many as 50% of all participants belonged to them. Team play helped us reach one of the main goals of the campaign: bringing people together.
Playing in teams let participants from different departments get to know each other, bond and motivate each other to move. Thanks to the campaign, we could show our appreciation for employees, add variety to company life and carry out corporate social responsibility (ESG) activities.
Activy turned out to be an inclusive solution, because everyone could take part: amateur athletes as well as beginner walkers.
I gained the confidence that I can do it and learned to exercise regularly, whatever the weather. I feel better. It also motivated my family to go for lots of walks and hikes - challenge participant
Another useful feature was the option to communicate with employees through the coordinator platform. It let us view current statistics and send participants notifications in the app, for example with the statistics of a given edition.
Results
When talking about results, we cannot leave out the prizes! Special gifts were waiting for the winners: universal and valuable, but above all related to sport, to encourage people to keep moving even after the challenge. They included bike accessories, GoPro cameras and electric scooters.
We recognized the TOP 3 in the combined women's and men's ranking in each edition and at the end of the challenge. In addition, to give a chance to participants just below the podium, each person could win a prize only once. This way, more people were recognized 😊.
We are happy with how the sports game in Activy went, and employees received it well. Apart from competing for points, many of them reached their personal goals, for example they changed their eating habits or noticed they felt better and had a better quality of life.
We hope this year's challenge is another step towards making healthy movement part of everyday life for Blachotrapez employees.
