10,000-step challenge

Turn every step into a collective victory

April to June or September

What is the 10,000 Steps Challenge?

The 10,000 Steps Challenge is a dynamic initiative that transforms daily physical activity into a motivating collective adventure.

Inspired by WHO recommendations on minimum physical activity, this program engages your employees in an active approach to their health, while strengthening team cohesion. For 4 to 8 weeks, participants track their daily step count via a dedicated app, and contribute to a collective corporate goal.

More than just counting steps, our challenge features weekly challenges, individual and team rankings, and moments to celebrate success.

This turnkey program adapts to all profiles, whatever their physical condition or profession, and creates a positive dynamic that goes far beyond physical activity to have a positive impact on work atmosphere, commitment and productivity.

Boost your challenge with our fun activities

Our "Step Up Challenge" game modules enrich the 10,000 Steps Challenge experience by creating memorable group moments. Designed to reinforce commitment, stimulate team spirit and add a playful dimension to the process, these activities punctuate the program and maintain participants' enthusiasm over time. Easily deployed and adaptable to all corporate contexts, these modules transform a simple step-counting exercise into a genuine collective adventure.

Treasure Hunt Steps

A treasure hunt in the city or on your premises, where clues are progressively unlocked according to the collective number of steps completed. Teams must work together to reach daily step milestones and discover the clues leading to the final treasure. This game creates a collective emulation while encouraging everyone to actively contribute to the common goal. Customizable to suit your environment and corporate culture, this activity transforms walking into a real playful quest.

Step Champions League

A weekly inter-team tournament with a variety of challenges: sprint step day, team relays, or "creative steps" where participants have to draw a specific route on the map using their GPS track. Each week, a new theme is proposed, and the winning teams accumulate points in the overall ranking. This module injects a healthy dose of competition that maintains commitment over time and values collective rather than individual performance.

Virtual World Tour

An immersive adventure in which the accumulated steps of all participants are converted into kilometers on a virtual world map. The entire company travels symbolically through emblematic destinations, discovering at each stage cultural content, anecdotes and challenges linked to the place reached. A weekly newsletter celebrates the journey and announces the next destination. This module gives meaning to the collective effort and creates a shared imagination around the challenge.

Absolutely! That's precisely the strength of our 10,000 Steps Challenge: it's designed to be inclusive and adaptable to all profiles. Each participant starts at his or her own level and progresses at his or her own pace. The application enables personalized objectives to be set, and offers alternatives for people with reduced mobility. Our experience shows that it is often the initially least active employees who derive the most benefit and satisfaction from the program.

Our methodology is based on several engagement levers: gamification with varied weekly challenges, collective emulation via team rankings, regular micro-celebrations and dynamic internal communication. The app also offers inspiring content and personalized advice. What's more, we train in-house "ambassadors" who maintain the momentum on a daily basis and support participants throughout the challenge.

In addition to the obvious benefits for employee health and well-being, our customers have noted significant impacts on: team cohesion (creation of cross-functional links), social climate (23% increase in work atmosphere score), stress reduction (-18% on average), reduced absenteeism and improved employer image. The approach also contributes to the company's CSR policy, and often generates spontaneous initiatives around sustainable mobility.

The 10,000 Steps Challenge fits perfectly into a broader QWL approach, and can serve as a catalyst for other initiatives. We work with you to build bridges with your existing initiatives (nutrition, sleep, stress management) and capitalize on the momentum created. The program can also be customized to include environmental, solidarity or managerial dimensions, depending on your strategic priorities. A full assessment is provided to measure the impact and guide your future QWL actions.
