The Basics of HeiaHeia Challenges
What?
A 4-12 week community target where teams and individuals progress towards a common goal with wellbeing actions, unlocking fun, informative and/or rewarding milestones along the way.
How?
Participants log their activities into their HeiaHeia account (or automatically import from their smart device). The progress of the challenge is tracked in the company's closed HeiaHeia community.
Why?
A wellbeing campaign is a fun project for the whole work community, which has been proven to increase wellbeing and community spirit, as well as supporting any additional themes that may be relevant for the company.

Everyone can participate
The HeiaHeia app is super easy to use. It's actively used by tens of thousands of users every month and has been rated 4.4 stars by thousands of happy users. Everyone in the organisation can now participate in their own way and find activities from 600 different exercise types.
“The program interests all kinds of people, from different age groups and backgrounds.”
Effortless with Wearables
If you want, you can sync your device (Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin, Polar, Suunto) with HeiaHeia to automatically import your workouts, steps and sleep into your ongoing HeiaHeia challenge. If you don't have a wearable or don't want to use it, you can easily log your achievements manually.
“The integrations with wearables have made its usage effortless.”
Measurable results
Measure how many steps were taken in each team, how many different sports activities were tried or how many times colleagues cheered and complemented each other. See the tangible results of increased physical activity and team spirit.
"...using Excel was out of the question for us."
Encourage by rewarding
The best outcome of a wellbeing challenge is increased activity and a sense of belonging within the organisation. But you can make it more fun and exciting by planning different reward programmes for each challenge throughout the year.
“...it creates a sense of community across team boundaries. It’s also really easy to use.”

FAQ: Can we have our departments, units or teams as players?
Challenges can be organised at different levels of the organisation. Set up a challenge for your entire global organisation, with different countries or departments challenging each other, or encourage smaller teams to come together and cheer each other on to achieve a common goal. Challenges can also be organised for individuals to try to be the first to reach the finish line.
"...Let's go for a walk so we can catch up with the Marketing team!"
FAQ: What do we measure in the challenge?
It's up to you! You can choose the unit of measurement, e.g:
- Wellbeing score, e.g. 5000 steps/day = 2 points, enough sleep = 1 points
- Minutes or hours, e.g. collect 30 minutes of activity per day
- Steps, e.g. which team collects the most steps during the challenge
- Kilometres/miles, e.g. how fast can your organisation reach the moon?
- Amount of sports types, e.g. who can bring most variety to their training?
- Micro-actions, such as cheering on a friend or drinking enough water
FAQ: Can we create challenges in different languages in a global company?
Being able to participate in Wellbeing Challenges in one's own language is an important factor in activating people on a large scale. HeiaHeia is used in over 150 countries and is available in +20 languages.
