In just a few clicks, Alma launched a WeWard step challenge to rally teams around a shared mission: walk 20M collective steps in October to unlock a €1,000 donation to charity.
The Problem: Building Team Spirit Across Remote Teams
Alma, a fast-growing fintech company with 380 employees, faced a challenge common among corporations: how to organize team building events across different offices - in Lille, Paris, and remote - while keeping engagement high and organization simple.
“We were looking for an easy, self-serve solution that could engage everyone, no matter where they worked, around a fun and meaningful activity.”
The Solution: A Corporate Step Challenge with WeWard
Using WeWard, the team was able to launch a company-wide step challenge within minutes, engaging employees in friendly competition around a shared cause. The challenge was simple: walk 20M steps to unlock a €1000 to Anne Lorient charity, an organization aiding homeless women and children.
How they implemented it:
• Created a branded private WeWard step challenge in just a few steps
• Invited employees via Slack and let them choose their team names
• Tracked team rankings and collective progress toward the 20-million step goal
