About Wellstep

Why use Wellstep?

At Wellstep, we help companies create a more active and healthy workplace through engaging activity challenges. Since 2008, we’ve been inspiring workplaces to get moving and building community through our health challenges. Using gamification, we make it easy to keep people motivated and get the whole team involved.

Let us help you combine the joy of work with an active lifestyle!

Why is it important to invest in wellness?

Wellness is about moving and living an active life to maintain good health and prevent illness in the future. Regular exercise builds up the body’s defenses against disease, while at the same time triggering processes in the body that make you and your body feel better.

Many companies have recognized the importance of healthy staff and are therefore investing in wellness for their employees. For example, wellness allowances, in-house fitness facilities, sponsored fees for running races and joint health challenges motivate employees to move more.

How does Wellstep affect health?

As part of evaluating health challenges run with Wellstep, we offer as standard a survey after completing the competition where participants have the opportunity to answer some questions about how they experienced the challenge and how it affected their health. In addition to answering some preselected questions, the opportunity is also given to write a comment.

As an administrator, you will be able to see the results and comments for your company’s competition.

Health challenges with Wellstep

Step challenge, activity challenge, health challenge, wellness challenge, activity challenge, exercise challenge, wellness challenge… There are many different names and titles for digital challenges to engage and motivate workplaces to move more and create healthier habits both in groups and individually.

Some companies want to run a challenge with a strong social focus with a focus on encouraging each other with e.g. pictures, other companies want to do a joint challenge where everyone together has to achieve a goal, and some companies want a challenge that is as simple as possible where e.g. only the walk counts.

Wellstep offers health challenges to suit all types of businesses and needs.

Starting a wellness initiative with Wellstep often takes place in three steps:

1

Decide on the type of health challenge (e.g. ladder race)
2

Choice of features (e.g. bonus missions and conversion of activities into steps)
3
Possible adjustments to the challenge (e.g. max 30 000 steps per day)

We at Wellstep have extensive experience in helping companies to successful wellness initiatives, feel free to book a meeting with us and we will guide you and help you get started with a health challenge that suits your workplace.

Special adaptations

Wellstep has a flexible platform that can be adapted both for small adjustments but also completely new concepts. We have extensive experience in developing customer-unique and customized solutions where Wellstep’s platform / app is used as a basis for login etc, but that the functions differ from our regular health challenges.
