Individual Challenges
Pavelka creates challenge template in the backend of the App. We set the challenge title, provide a brief description, a feature image and most importantly the activity or set of activities that must be completed each day to complete the challenge.

TEAM Challenges
How is a team challenge different to an individual challenge?
The user themselves cannot create a team challenge, it is pre-loaded on to the App and published to run at a specific date and time. The Pavelka Admin team can set up 2 phases of publication:
- Registration – allowing users to register on the App and create a team for the challenge. They can see the challenge activities but cannot complete them as the challenge itself hasn’t actually started
- Challenge live – users can still register as above, but the challenge has started and users can complete challenge activities.
The challenge encourages teams of up to four people to come together in a challenge team, and work together to complete a set of daily activities. Completing the set of daily activities unlocks team milestone badges. A user can therefore participate on their own as an individual if they don’t want to invite others into their team, but they would still have to create a team (of 1) to participate.
As teams unlock milestone badges, their activity contributes to achieving an overriding challenge goal. Every team, no matter how many activities they complete, are contributing to the overriding challenge goal.
There can only be one team challenge running at a time, and consideration must be given to whether individual challenges continue to run, or we allow users to create individual challenges at the same time to avoid confusion between different challenge activities that a user may need to complete.
The peak communicator
A team-based challenge that builds the key skills of communication to ensure strong wellbeing for both the individual and organization as a whole.
Centering on effective communication delivering a culture of trust, empathy and relationship-building, The Peak Communicator Challenge blends emotional and social wellbeing, with an essential business need.
Teams of up to four people, work together through a set of daily challenge activities to earn their team milestone badges in:
- Active Listening
- Emotional Intelligence
- Being Intentional
- Powerful Questions
- Gratitude
As teams earn their milestone badges, the peak communicator pyramid lights up to show the organization as a whole working towards being peak communicators. No matter how many activities a team completes, they are all contributing to the overall goal of lighting up the peak communicator pyramid.
Peak communication empowers healthy mental, emotional, and social wellbeing. For the individual, it leads to the self-assurance that brings inner calm through confidence of action.
In teams, peak communication ensures the trust, empathetic understanding and relationship-building that delivers a transparent culture of resilience and productivity.

benefits of wellbeing challenges
Improved employee health
Wellbeing challenges promote a healthier lifestyle by encouraging employees to engage in physical activity, practice mindfulness, manage stress, and make better nutrition choices. Regular exercise and healthy habits contribute to reduced absenteeism, improved energy levels, and enhanced overall wellbeing.
Increased employee engagement
Wellbeing challenges provide opportunities for employees to connect and engage with their colleagues outside of regular work tasks. Collaboration and teamwork can be fostered through participation in group challenges, fostering a sense of camaraderie, and building stronger relationships among employees.
Boosted morale and satisfaction
Participating in corporate wellbeing challenges shows that the organization values and supports the well-being of its employees. This can result in increased employee morale, job satisfaction, and loyalty. Employees feel cared for and appreciated, leading to a positive work environment and reduced turnover rates.
in summary
Wellbeing challenges are not only fun they succeed in bringing together colleagues from all around the world from different business functions - Corporate, Customer Service, R&D, Engineering, Manufacturing, Sales & Marketing, Finance and beyond...
