Wellness Challenge
Wellness Challenge is a team-building solution for a new age of employees. At its core, it promotes working together with co-workers while also improving the health & wellness of all who participate.
Participants in a Wellness Challenge event earn points by doing challenges. There are three main types of challenges: Daily Challenges, Bonus Challenges, and a Bingo Card. Each of these challenge types give a varying amount of points (based on the activity), and have been designed in such a way that people of all physical skill can participate.
- Daily Challenges offer daily points based on how many of these activities you do per day. Their main purpose is to promote direct physical and mental wellness through activities such as cardio, weightlifting, meditation, and drinking water.
- Bonus Challenges, usually ran on a weekly schedule, offer extra points per day in which the challenge was completed. These activities usually focus on more all-around wellbeing. An example of this might be flossing every day for a week.
- Bingo Card challenges were introduced as yet another way for participants to earn extra points toward their final score. Bingo card challenges are a wildcard. They might include physical or mental wellbeing tasks, as well as general wellness. Who knows? They might also require you to phone a friend.
How it Works
Wellness Challenge offers a new kind of experience for your employees. It is a decentralized and asynchronous competition platform that allows participants to partake at a level that feels comfortable and attainable to them, while also building toward the common goal (winning the event) that being on a team encourages.

The Key Benefits
Team Building
Participants in a Wellness Challenge event are assigned to teams. Teams allow multiple participants to contribute to the success of the whole team, allowing less-engaged employees to still have a sense of accomplishment.
Promote Wellness
The activities participants can earn points for are designed to improve a person's wellness as a whole, both physical and mental. Even if a participant doesn't win the challenge, they may still see an improvement in some aspect of their life.
Improve Morale
Improved physical and mental wellness can improve happiness and encourage participants to engage more with their coworkers and teammates.

The more the merrier! Wellness challenge events can be run with as many people as you have in your company, and you can assign as many teams as you'd like. This allows for organizations of many sizes to participate.
We do recommend keeping team sizes small within an event, however, as this can reduce the chance of a participant feeling like they make no impact in the challenge.
