How do I run a successful Company Challenge?

What is a Company Challenge?

• A Company Challenge is a walking challenge for colleagues, teams, departments, or the entire organization.
• Suitable for team building, wellness initiatives, charity events, and friendly competition.
• It is Free to create and join.

How many participants can join?

• Up to 20,000 participants per challenge.
• Suitable for both small teams and large organizations.

How to set up a Challenge?

A designated Admin should first create the Challenge in the app. Simply tap the “+” button and select “Create Challenge.” During setup, the following can be configured directly in StepsApp:

• Challenge name
• Duration
• Description
• Background image

Use a Host to make your Challenge look professional.

• Add your company, department, or event organizer as a Host.
• Helps participants easily identify the official organizer.
• Can include company branding and event information.

How can employees join?

Once the challenge is created, participants can join in one of the following ways:

• Via a shared invite link
• By scanning a shared QR code
• By being added directly (if they are already connected as friends on the leaderboard)

Best practice for large Company Challenges:

• Each participant should create their own StepsApp account to join the Challenge.
• All participants should update to the latest version of StepsApp (iOS or Android) to ensure optimal performance.
• Organizers should clearly communicate the challenge type, goal, and duration before the challenge begins.
• For large challenges, consider assigning additional Admins to help manage participants and communications.
• Participants should allow up to 6 hours after the challenge ends for final results to be calculated and synchronized.
• If using wearables, participants should verify that syncing with Apple Health (iOS) or Google Fit (Android) is correctly set up before the Challenge starts.
• Organizers should decide whether the Challenge Chat is open to all participants or restricted to Admins only. For larger challenges, Admin-only chat can help keep important announcements visible and reduce message volume.

Analyze and Share Results.

Challenge Admins can export challenge data as a CSV file for further analysis. Simply open the Challenge details, tap on the More button and select CSV Export.

Exported data can be used to:

• Create custom reports, charts and presentations.
• Share results with participants and stakeholders.
• Analyze participation and engagement.
• Recognize top performers and team achievements.
• Archive challenge results for future reference.

If any participant experiences issues during the Challenge, they can contact our support team directly via [email protected] for prompt assistance.
