How to maximize engagement for your corporate wellness program.

As the region’s leading provider of Corporate Wellness Programs, at STEPPI we know that the key to every successful employee wellness program is…High Engagement. This is the platform for generating real and tangible positive results for you and your employees.

It sounds so simple! But in a world where everyone is competing for your attention, it is no surprise that many in-house wellness programs achieve less than 15% engagement levels.

So how do you ensure the highest levels of engagement amongst your colleagues? If your communication and approach are well structured and tailored to your audience, we believe high levels of engagement are not only possible but maintainable in the long term.

And with engagement levels on a typical STEPPI program averaging 60-80%, we think we have found the secret sauce!  

We have included below our 5 top tips. 
Give some of these a try and experience better results:

1. Communicate your purpose

Involve top leadership and have internal well-being ambassadors to help keep people motivated
throughout. Observing buy-in from key stakeholders creates a culture of engagement.  

3. Promote Cheer and Encouragement

Encourage employees to engage with each other through cheer actively and messaging on the app, circulate positive updates on achievements and ask employees to share their fitness tips and photos to create an open sharing culture. Seeing positivity around participation will yield more participation.

4. Include incentives

Encourage employees to engage with each other through cheer actively and messaging on the app,
circulate positive updates on achievements and ask employees to share their fitness tips and photos to
create an open sharing culture. Seeing positivity around participation will yield more participation. 

5. Appeal to the inner competitive spirit  

Consider setting internal targets that all participants can celebrate in achieving. STEPPI data can
help you build out those targets and appeal to different fitness levels. Provide regular updates
with tangible and reachable targets to allow non-participants to see how easy achieving can be.
Ensuring high engagement levels is both an art and a science, and having spent years working on
science-led motivation techniques, we at STEPPI know it is not easy. But by implementing a few
initiatives and investing the time, we are confident you will see positive results.
Whether you are looking to get started with an engaging challenge and some healthy
competition or seeking to deliver measurable well-being outcomes for your organization
through comprehensive wellness programs, STEPPI can tailor a solution to suit your needs and
budget.
