How do you bring together employee wellbeing, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and engagement in a way that actually excites people?
You gamify it.
That’s exactly what Stayf did in the FinTech Charity Challenge, a high-energy, purpose-driven competition where employees from Neon, Paysend, Flowdesk, and ANNA Money turned physical activity into social impact.
The Concept: A Game Where Everyone Wins
The challenge was designed to motivate employees to be more active while making a real difference in the world. Here’s how it worked:
- Each participating fintech company contributed to a charity pool and selected a nonprofit to support it.
- Employees earned points by logging 20+ physical activities, engaging in wellbeing challenges, and replying on tailored prompts in chats
- The more active the team, the larger the donation to their chosen charity.
This gamified format made participation exciting, turning everyday movement into a friendly competition while driving real-world impact.
How Stayf Made It Engaging
A successful wellbeing challenge isn’t just about tracking movement—it’s about keeping employees engaged from start to finish. Here’s what made this challenge so effective:
- Real-time competition: A leaderboard inside the Stayf app kept motivation high as employees saw how their company ranked.
- Achievements & rewards: Participants unlocked milestones and virtual badges, boosting their sense of progress.
- Social engagement: Companies encouraged friendly rivalries through internal channels like Slack, email, and virtual team huddles.
- The ultimate reward? A donation that makes a difference—employees weren’t just competing for themselves; they were competing for a cause they care about.
The Impact: Numbers That Speak Volumes
This initiative wasn’t just about fitness—it was about bringing teams together while reinforcing a company’s commitment to employee wellbeing and social responsibility.
