Sport and challenges

Your people's kilometres, turned into prizes

Whoever wants to connects Strava or Hevy. Their rides, runs, laps and gym sessions earn points they swap for company prizes and push team challenges forward. With a weekly cap, so people who go for a walk win too.

How it works

Three steps, and nobody logs anything by hand

People use the app they already use. BienestarHR only reads the minimum it needs to add up.

  1. 1

    The person connects their app

    Strava with one tap or Hevy with their key. It's voluntary and they can disconnect any time from their space.

  2. 2

    Their km and kg earn points

    Each synced activity earns points based on effort and moves forward the team challenges they've joined.

  3. 3

    They redeem company prizes

    Points are swapped for whatever you put in the catalogue: an afternoon off, a team breakfast, sports gear.

What counts

Five ways to move, one scale

Each sport scores by how much effort a kilometre takes. These are the recommended values; the company can change them.

Cycling

Road, mountain or riding to work. A km on a bike takes less than a km running, so it's worth a third.

2 points per km

Running

From a 3 km jog to the long Sunday run. The reference for the whole scale.

6 points per km

Swimming

Pool or open water. A swimming km is hard work: it's worth four times a running km.

24 points per km

Walking

Walks and hikes count the same as running per km. So moving isn't only for athletes.

6 points per km

Gym

With Hevy, the kilos lifted (volume) and the session count. A strength or yoga session logged in Strava counts too.

3 points per tonne + 10 per session

Points example

What an ordinary week adds up to

With the recommended values. They're the same ones the app ships with: the company can change them and each person always sees what every activity earned.

Kilometre challenges give their own points for contributing to the team goal. So do check-ins, habits and courses.

Cap: 150 points per person per weekMonday to Sunday. Anything above the cap still counts for challenges and the league, but earns no points.

Privacy

Effort counts. The route doesn't

We read the type of sport, the distance, the time and, at the gym, the kilos. Nothing else. That's enough to add points and move challenges, without turning sport into surveillance.

How it applies to sport
  • It's voluntary: each person connects their app and disconnects it whenever they want.
  • HR only sees team totals, and only once 5 people have connected.
  • Never the route, the map, heart rate or other health data.
  • Points belong to each person: nobody else sees how many they've earned.
  • League ranking only if the person wants to appear in it.

For HR

You set the challenge and the prizes. Your people bring the kilometres

Everything is set up in a few minutes and can be adjusted whenever you like.

Challenges between teams and sites

Kilometres cycling, running or any movement, across the whole company, by site or by team. A shared progress bar and an end date.

Your own prizes

A catalogue with whatever makes sense in your company, with limited units if you want. You mark when it's handed over.

Points and cap to fit you

Points per km for each sport, per tonne and per gym session, and a weekly cap per person. With a live example before you save.

Frequently asked questions

What if someone doesn't do sport?

Sport is one more way to earn. Check-ins, surveys, habits, short courses, thanking a colleague and joining challenges also earn points. Nobody is left out of the catalogue for not running.

Won't whoever trains two hours a day take all the prizes?

No. There's a weekly cap on sport points per person (150 by default) that HR can adjust. Someone who walks a little every day ends up earning almost as much as someone doing a long run.

What about odd or duplicated activities?

The impossible doesn't count: a running pace at car speed, a 20-hour session or 80 tonnes in one workout. The same ride uploaded twice only counts once.

How often does it sync?

Strava brings activities in on its own when the sport section is opened, at most once an hour, and whenever the person taps “Get activity”. Hevy syncs when that button is tapped. Activities from the last 30 days count.

Do kilometre challenges give separate points?

Yes. A challenge rewards contributing to a team goal, once per challenge per day. Sport points reward effort, with a cap. Both add up.

Do people need to pay for Strava or Hevy?

Strava works with a free account. Hevy connects with the API key, which is a Hevy Pro feature. In BienestarHR it's included in the single plan at €3 per employee per month.
