About Us
With the Covid-19 pandemic came an influx of restrictions, forcing many to work from home. This presented the perfect opportunity for us to broaden our horizons. Find new ways to continue supporting the health and wellbeing of the workforce, even out of the office. And so, Step Forward was born! The free-to-use, app-based stepping challenge provided new ways of helping organisations support their people virtually, even worldwide. Â
In the beginning, through sponsorship, we provided challenges that organisations were invited to join free of charge. This allowed us to help organisations wanting to support their people during the incredibly tough time. Today, we offer our free, global challenge and paid private challenges. Cater to a whole range of company and individual needs.
Step Forward is much more than just a stepping challenge. Through our dedicated team at Healthy Workplaces, we provide a fully supported, team wellness initiative to maximise the motivation and engagement of participants. This is achieved through features like our leaderboard updates, push notifications, user support, and tailored email communications for each host. On top of this, we’ve worked with several organisations to run step challenges alongside fundraising goals. Team leaders can commit to achieving a step goal which is supported through a peer-to-peer fundraising model.
Step Forward has been a raging success, with more and more companies wanting to get their employees involved. With such exponential growth in such a small amount of time, we’re excited to see what the future holds and continue supporting the workforce.Â

What’s On Offer
Host a private challenge
Private challenges allow you to set up a challenge that is only accessible to a closed group (e.g. the employees of a company). When running a private challenge, the host will be fully supported by Healthy Workplaces from start to finish. This includes support with launching the event, user support, and team engagement.
Sponsor a challenge
Sponsoring a challenge is a great way for organizations to support the mental and physical health of the Australian workforce. Sponsors of a challenge have the opportunity to offer prizes to encourage participants to increase their steps per day. App users are notified of sponsored challenges through EDM’s, social media, and push notifications.
Get involved for free
Step Forward is free to download and sign up to. Users of the open version can track their steps, and can compare their results to the global leaderboard. The leaderboard can also be filtered to show only users from a specific company. Users of the open version also have access to any sponsored challenges that become available.
