Employee Step Challenges & Other Fitness Competitions
Employee step challenges are a type of wellness program in which employees are encouraged to walk a certain number of steps each day, week, or month. The primary goal of such a challenge is to increase physical activity and promote better health among employees, but such challenges also help boost morale, productivity and retention. Step challenges are often organized through the use of fitness trackers or other tracking devices. Participants in a step challenge typically receive incentives or rewards for meeting their step goals, and the challenge may include activities such as group walks or other group fitness events.
