Objective: Motivate team members to be more active throughout the day, promoting well-being, physical health, and team bonding.
How It Works:
Shono initiates a "Step Up Challenge" in your Slack workspace, encouraging everyone to increase their daily activity by tracking steps. The challenge lasts for a week, and each participant is motivated to reach 8,000 steps per day.
Step-by-Step:
- Initiation by Shono: Shono, your AI engagement assistant, announces the Step Up Challenge in the #wellness Slack channel. It sets a positive tone, sharing the benefits of staying active and inviting everyone to join.
- Tracking & Motivation: During the two-week challenge, Shono sends reminders and motivational messages directly in the Slack channel to keep participants on track. Shono also shares tips about the benefits of walking, like improving mental health and reducing fatigue. Throughout the challenge, Shono acts like a campaign manager, encouraging everyone to stay engaged and keep moving.
- Leaderboards & Engagement: Shono sets up a friendly leaderboard within Slack that tracks participants’ daily and total steps, fostering light competition. Employees can cheer each other on, react, and comment, turning the challenge into an interactive, team-building activity.
- Reward: At the end of the challenge, Shono announces the winner—someone who consistently reached or exceeded their step goal. The winner receives a small reward, such as a fitness tracker, a $200 gift card, or a wellness-related item, keeping the challenge exciting.
Outcome:
The Step Up Challenge turns a simple activity like walking into an engaging team-building event. It encourages people to be more active, share their progress, and have fun together. Shono’s prompts and friendly reminders keep the challenge light and motivating, without any extra effort required from anyone.
Impact:
- Boosted Physical Activity: Over 60% of participants hit their daily step goals throughout the challenge.
- Positive Team Interaction: Team members cheered each other on, creating a positive and supportive environment.
- Healthy Habits: Many participants continued prioritizing daily movement even after the challenge ended.
