Get Your Best Corporate Wellness Results Ever

Why Participation Matters

Simply put, you can’t get results if your employees don’t participate in your wellness initiatives in the first place. For most corporate wellness products, getting employees to opt in is difficult, at best. It typically takes bribes in the form of incentives and rewards to drive even minimal participation. Not with A Step Ahead.

Participation also affects your cost basis. Most wellness companies charge a fee based on the overall size of your company, making it much harder to generate a positive ROI because the cost-to-participation ratio is working against you. Again, not with A Step Ahead.

How A Step Ahead Performs

A Step Ahead averages a 32.5% increase in participation over companies’ previous participation records, even without using participation incentives. And because our pricing is based on participation, not your overall company size, you’re only paying for employees who participate. You’ll typically spend far less to get far superior results on an A Step Ahead challenge than you will for competing platforms.

The only competition for A Step Ahead’s participation records is… A Step Ahead! Companies doing a second (or more) challenge typically see even greater gains, as the buzz from an initial challenge helps build momentum that turns it from a novelty into a full-on company movement.

What This Means For You

You get better results and higher ROI because more of your employees participate than ever before, and you only pay for those who participate, not some flat fee based on your overall company size.

Why Sustained Engagement Matters

We hear it every day from our clients, “The last event we did with Company XYZ started off great but participation fell off a cliff after a week or two. Only a fraction of participants who started actually finished.”

That’s because even with “gamification” other corporate wellness products simply aren’t engaging enough to keep your employees’ attention for very long, and that’s a very big deal.

Per the CDC, less than one quarter of adults over 18 get the recommended amount of physical activity. When your employees quit on your wellness challenges after a week or two, the vast majority of them slump right back into physical inactivity before they can realize the health gains you’re trying to drive.

Not only that, but poor sustained engagement makes realizing a positive ROI nearly impossible. You simply can’t get results from a program where the majority of participants quit after a week or two.

How A Step Ahead Performs

On average, 94.4% of employees who start an ASA challenge participate all the way through to completion.

A Step Ahead’s game-based approach drives unheard of retention, keeping employees physically active long enough to not just see real physical benefits, but long enough to develop healthy new habits.

When you combine this with the 32.5% average increase in signups, you have a recipe for the best ROI in the industry. Simply put, A Step Ahead will get more employees to sign up and then keep them engaged. It’s the silver bullet for ROI.

What This Means For You

When your employees stay engaged, they get greater health benefits, and your ROI skyrockets.

Why User Demographics Matter

You have a diverse workforce and it’s crucial that your wellness initiatives reach as many lives as possible. The problem is that reaching everyone is easier said than done. After all, it doesn’t matter if you drive great participation and retention across one age group while failing to reach another.

Most corporate wellness programs struggle to engage a broad audience, with the 40-59 age range being notoriously difficult to reach.

How A Step Ahead Performs

A Step Ahead has a nearly even split between male and female participants, and engages evenly across all age bands, including the hard-to-engage 40-59 age range. If we’re being honest, even we were surprised by just how evenly distributed our usage statistics are.

A Step Ahead also engages both gamers and non-gamers, alike. In fact, the vast majority of A Step Ahead participants identify as non-gamers.

What This Means For You

You reach more of your workforce, driving engagement and teamwork for everyone from their 20’s all the way into retirement age. Age, gender, gamer, non-gamer… everyone participates.
