Givhero

09/16/2019

Our firm has been participating in step challenges for many years and it has become increasingly more difficult to facilitate these programs as our company grows in size. We were recording all of our steps through excel spreadsheets that were sent to one person weekly and they would have to compile all of the numbers and email out a dashboard to all of our participants. The only consistent way we knew how to track everyone’s progress was through Fitbits, pedometers, and the step app on our phone so employees were limited to steps being the only form of “working out” in our challenge. Givhero changed all of this.

People signed themselves and their teams up through the app which also linked straight to their tracking devices so there was no need to enter data in manually. The Givhero app does have a function where you can insert your data manually and this let our swimmers, bikers, and weightlifters be part of our competition too! All the reports were done on the backend and this took our administrative time out of it and eliminated emails between participants.

One of our favorite parts though was as our employees reached their wellness goals they were raising money for their favorite local charities. Our company works closely with non-profits and it was amazing to reach out to 10 of our non-profit clients and tell them that we were going to donate money to their cause as our employees hit their daily goals in this health challenge. To top it all off, our Givhero team was extremely responsive and helpful as we implemented this new challenge. There are always hiccups when starting something new, but our Givhero team was there every step of the way and had communications with us daily.

This was an awesome experience for our firm and we are so excited to use Givhero again in our future challenges!
