What type of Challenges?
Challenge Examples
We encourage clients to run 1 challenge per quarter for their organization. The best part is, your culture coach will facilitate the entire thing and part of your Shaka subscription includes a budget for prizes to encourage participation. Here are a few ideas of challenges hosted by Shaka.
- Hello Hydration Challenge
- Participants compete to drink the most oz. of water. The goal is to create better habits around drinking H2O and draw awareness around what employees may be drinking too much of (caffeine, sugar, alcohols, etc).
- Daily Gratitude Challenge
- Participants take time from their day to write out something that they are grateful for over the duration of the challenge. The goal is to draw attention to the positive aspects of daily life.
- Connect with Nature Challenge
- Participants compete for the most amount of days they spend outdoors (hiking, biking, walking, camping, bird watching, roller skating etc) over 1 month. The goal is to take a break from being inside all day and enjoy some fresh air!
- Shop Small Business Challenge
- For 1 month, participants will compete to see how many different small, local businesses they can shop and support. The goal is to get out and support locally owned shops and restaurants in our respective communities.
- Random Acts Challenge
- Participants will be challenged to perform random acts of kindness for their family, neighbors, friends, or co-workers during this challenge with the goal to promote community and spontaneous acts of kindness.
- Healthy Breakfast Challenge
- Participants are challenged to remember the most important meal of the day, breakfast! The goal of this challenge is to increase employee energy and attention in the mornings by encouraging them to get a healthy breakfast before work!
