Wellbeing challenges bring strategies to life!

Wellbeing challenges engage employees in a low cost, web-driven approach, by creating team challenges to tackle health and wellbeing issues and engage everyone – regardless of whether they are interested in getting fitter or simply feeling better. Each wellbeing challenge lasts ass long as you wish (standard four weeks) and can be used to bring a wellbeing strategy to life or simply run a fun based event.

Participating individuals can track and compare their progress on the live leaderbboard. Schedule your challenges, send an invite, check out the league tables and give out prizes, it’s as easy as that!

Why run a challenge?

1) to engage a defined group of people in improving their wellbeing (average engagement 64%)
2) to improve a specific area of wellbeing (57% of participants felt more resilient after a resilience challenge)
3) to change behaviour (47% of all who took part achieved more than 10,000 steps every day of the activity challenge)
4) to promote services
5) to raise money for charity
6) to run a fun, competitive event and improve morale

Managing the challenge

Wellbeing4business can run the challenge on your behalf or we can licence the Well121 software platform to the organisation who run their own challenge through a team of in-house health professionals.

We can run challenges that last any length – our recommended length is 28 days. We can choose any topic as long as the app can record daily activity.
