Key Objective
Our principal goal is to take our employees on a fitness journey through a wellness program designed to build and maintain an active lifestyle.
Problem statement
- Employee wellbeing has been a major concern for organizations these days, leading to the emergence of a comprehensive wellness program.
- With the sole purpose of motivating employees towards attaining a fit lifestyle, Embrace Pet Insurance looked for an all-in-one virtual wellness platform with the means to achieve the desired goal.
- The HR sought a real-time HR Dashboard to monitor participation and keep proper track of the progress. Besides, they wanted a separate tracking tool for the participants too for self-performance accountability.
- Considering the demographic barriers, EPI wished for a flexible digital platform that is within reach for every employee, regardless of their time and location.
- Intending to enhance employee engagement, the admin further wanted to launch a marathon program to bring the entire workforce together on a common platform.
Solution
- Vantage Fit hosted a marathon challenge under the “Fitness Guru Challenge” campaign, lasting for 8 weeks straight, starting from 5th April to 30th May 2021.
- Spanning over 1 month and a half, the marathon required EPI employees to increase their step count with each passing day, thus achieving the goal of establishing a healthy living.
- Access to real-time Vantage Fit HR Dashboard enabled the HR admin to supervise the competition precisely.
- A gamified leaderboard was available to the participants to improve their performance by allowing them to maintain a record of their daily and weekly step counts.
- Employees were encouraged with redeemable vantage rewards received on completion of the challenge.
- With a digitized wellness platform, the place constraints disappeared, and the challenge could take place globally.

Results
- Over 71 employees took part in the 2-month long Fitness Guru marathon.
- All the EPI employees recorded a sum of over 19 million steps.
- On average, each participant walked a distance of around 20 km during the entire challenge.
- The workforce burned a total of 870 Thousand calories in the span of 8 weeks.
- Fitness Guru marathon witnessed a workforce engagement of 94%.
