Full of energy, full of good - a sports challenge at Gaspol
One challenge, five goals. See how Gaspol combined employee bonding, physical activity and ecology in one company initiative.
The goal: health, relationships and activity
The goal of the Activy challenge at GASPOL was to have fun and bring employees together, encourage physical activity and the use of the company's electric bikes, promote eco-friendly transport and, as a result, look after physical and mental wellbeing, as well as support charities. The program combined sports competition, team bonding and the promotion of eco-friendly transport, including electric bikes available at every company location. Employees also had the chance to support charitable causes, and the whole process was backed by education: webinars covering important topics related to the work of the supported foundations.
As GASPOL's coordinators put it:
“We had five goals: health, team bonding, a charitable cause, promoting electric bikes and an eco lifestyle. We achieved all of them”

How did the challenge go?
The challenge lasted two months, and interest was huge: the 150-place limit filled up in no time. Promotion started with a video made by the HR team and published on the company's internal communication channels. A group of ambassadors played a key role, along with active communication on the company messenger, where participants regularly received reminders, results and motivational posts.
Participants competed individually and in teams, completing sports missions and supporting charitable causes. Activities were recorded in the Activy app, and the descriptions and comments participants added drew particular interest, giving extra motivation and heating up the competition.
🗨️ An employee's opinion:
“Activy gave me the chance to find time just for my health, better fitness, the motivation to keep going, health and a lovely connection with helping a charitable cause”
🗨️ The coordinator's opinion:
“For me it was so refreshing, something positive and new in our organization, and also a chance to get to know others from a softer side, not just the business one”
A joint effort for a good cause
Through their sports activity, participants supported charitable causes together. The points they collected were turned into real financial support for the organizations. Engagement was so high that some employees... felt “withdrawal symptoms” after the challenge ended.

What's next?
The Activy challenge proved to be not only an effective way to promote a healthy lifestyle, but it also helped build stronger bonds within the company. Team bonding, support and involvement from the management board, and the shared pursuit of charitable goals led to high turnout and huge enthusiasm.
“For me personally, it was a very valuable lesson and experience. It makes you want to do it again!” recalls one of this year's participants
