Employee wellness challenges, ready to run.

Pick a program, set who it is for, and eligible employees are enrolled automatically. Nobody has to opt in, which is where most programs lose people.

The problem

Most wellness programs are lost at the sign-up step. HR launches, a fraction of employees opt in, and participation drops before the first week is out.

In one line

Employee wellness challenges are time-boxed programs where employees log a healthy activity and see it on a leaderboard, and Vantage Fit ships a library of recognizable programs built on five self-serve formats, with audience rules that enroll the right people automatically.

Start from the outcome you were handed.

Five goals HR teams get asked for, and the programs that produce them.

  1. Get everyone moving

    One number everyone understands, countable on a phone alone.

    • Step it up
    • Team step challenge

  2. Cover more than steps

    A holistic wellness program, with weekly themes across sleep, food, mind and movement.

    • Mental health awareness
    • Sleep challenge
    See multi-activity challenges →
  3. Bring remote and hybrid teams together

    Teams rank on the average of member scores, so nobody carries the group.

    • Team yoga
    • Lunch walk

  4. Build a habit that sticks

    One small daily target, so a missed day costs only that day.

    • Breathing exercise
    • Sugar free

  5. Run one company-wide moment

    A distance event the whole company can finish, counted in kilometers.

    • Charity walk

Programs employees recognize, configurations you control.

Every program here is built from one of the five formats in the dashboard. Filter by focus, run it solo or in teams.

    Every challenge in the library runs the same four steps.

    1. Target by department, country, age or health risk

      Target by department, country, age, gender, language or health risk profile. Targeted challenges are private by default.

    2. Enrollment happens by rule

      Matching employees are enrolled automatically at the start. There is no sign-up step to lose people at.

    3. Activity tracks itself

      Steps sync from the phone, no wearable required. Hourly and daily caps flag anomalies so leaderboards stay fair.

    4. Recognition lands automatically

      Badges calculate nightly, certificates and points issue automatically, and you can reschedule or bulk-manage any time.

    Nobody has to be an athlete to place well.

    Team score is the average of member scores, so the board rewards a squad that keeps turning up rather than the one with the fastest runner.

    • Average, not total

      Team score is the average of member scores, not the sum, so one steady member lifts the whole team and no one gets carried.

    • Private by choice

      Employees can hide from the individual leaderboard and still take part, earning for the team.

    • Consistency beats stars

      A steady squad beats a couple of high performers plus silent seats.

    • A bad day is forgiven

      Habit and streak formats reward turning up, not peak performance.
