What They Said about their steps challenge
At SQA, we’re always looking for new and engaging ways to support our staff's health and wellbeing and the Big Team Challenge was a perfect fit. It not only encouraged colleagues to get more active, but also helped foster a sense of connection through some fun, friendly competition.
Staff really appreciated the team-based format, the motivation from the leaderboard and how easy the app was to use. For many, the challenge offered both physical and mental health benefits, some even setting personal goals and achieving more than they expected.
We also loved the fact that tree planting was included as part of the challenge. This aligns closely with SQA’s environmental strategy and sustainability goals and it was great to see our participation contributing positively in that way.
We’d definitely consider taking part again some even suggested running it more than once a year!
We absolutely recommend Big Team Challenge to other organisations looking for a fun and effective way to support staff wellbeing in an engaging and enjoyable way!
