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

Alma's employees competed in team rankings and tracked collective stats

The Results

In just one month, Alma’s employees collectively walked 21.6 million steps, exceeding their goal and donating €1,000 to Anne Lorient charity. A snapshot of the results below:

• 21.6 million steps

• 40% participation rate

• 4 teams created

• 2,014 kg of CO₂ saved, emissions from 12,000 km driven in a car

“The WeWard Challenge created a lively, fun atmosphere across teams. It strengthened bonds between colleagues, and the collective donation made everyone proud to be part of Alma.”
