How does a corporate step challenge with Teamupp work?
Running a corporate step challenge doesn’t need to be complicated. With Teamupp, it’s smooth, quick, and actually fun, both for you and your team.
Here’s how it works, step-by-step:
Step 1: Download the Teamupp app
Your challenge starts with one simple move: downloading the Teamupp app (available on iOS and Android). It’s user-friendly and built for your busy teams, so there’s no learning curve or tech headaches.
Step 2: Choose a challenge or customize your own
You can pick from a variety of ready-to-go step challenge formats or build your own from scratch. Want daily goals? Weekly leaderboards? A team-versus-team format?
It’s all possible with Teamupp, which is built to flex around your needs.
Step 3: Get your company code and share it
Once your challenge is set up, Teamupp generates a unique company code. Share it with your employees so they can join your challenge instantly. No lengthy onboarding or confusing sign-up process.
Step 4: Set the start and finish dates
Decide how long you want the corporate step challenge to run. Just choose your start and end dates, and Teamupp takes care of the rest, whether it’s a quick 2-week boost or a month-long step showdown.
Step 5: Track progress and engagement in real-time
Teamupp syncs with most fitness trackers and smartphones to automatically log the steps of your participants. You’ll get live leaderboards, engagement insights, and team comparisons. You’ll not spend hours churning the data, going through spreadsheets, or doing any manual calculations.
Step 6: Keep it fresh
Once your team’s warmed up, you can easily roll out new challenges to keep the momentum going. You can easily mix up the formats, add surprise bonuses, or launch department-specific challenges within the app.
Step 7: Reward and reflect
Celebrate your team’s effort with in-app rewards, shoutouts, or real prizes. Teamupp also gives you post-challenge insights so you can learn what worked, tweak what didn’t, and make your next challenge even better.
Let Teamupp handle the logistics of your company step challenge so you can focus on boosting culture, health, and engagement!
