Frequently Asked Questions :
‍

How does GoJoe boost engagement?
GoJoe boosts employee engagement by making wellbeing a shared, social experience rather than a solo obligation. The platform's team challenges, leaderboards, clubs, and activity feeds create daily touchpoints between colleagues — turning health into a reason to connect, compete, and celebrate together. This social layer is the primary driver of GoJoe's ~90% challenge participation rates, far above the 10–15% typical of content-led employee engagement apps. Behaviour-linked rewards give employees a tangible incentive to stay active, while gamification (streaks, missions, badges) builds the daily habits that sustain engagement between challenge cycles.
What is employee engagement?
Employee engagement describes the emotional commitment employees have to their organisation and its goals — the difference between showing up and genuinely caring. Engaged employees are more productive, less likely to leave, and more invested in team outcomes. The best employee engagement apps foster this commitment by strengthening the social fabric of the workplace: creating shared experiences, recognising effort, and building a sense of belonging. GoJoe approaches engagement through the lens of shared health goals — because employees who feel physically and mentally well, and who feel connected to colleagues, consistently show higher engagement scores.
Can all employees join?
Yes — GoJoe is designed for whole-workforce participation, not just the already-engaged minority. The inclusive 60+ activity model ensures employees of all fitness levels, ages, and abilities can contribute meaningfully. Team-based challenge formats mean participation is socially reinforced — colleagues encourage and motivate each other. GoJoe achieves ~90% participation in corporate challenges because the platform is designed to be accessible, fair, and genuinely enjoyable for everyone. Previously inactive employees increase activity by up to 400% demonstrating that GoJoe engages the hardest-to-reach segment of the workforce.
How do team challenges work?
GoJoe team challenges run for a defined period — typically 4–8 weeks — with employees grouped into teams across departments, locations, or any structure the organisation chooses. Each team member logs activity (manually or via wearable sync), earning points that contribute to the team's collective score. Teams compete on a real-time leaderboard updated as activity is logged. Social features — celebration notifications, activity feeds, team chat — keep energy high throughout the challenge. At challenge end, results are published and top-performing teams recognised. GoJoe's success team handles all technical setup, leaving HR teams to focus on internal communications and engagement.
How does friendly competition help morale?
Friendly competition is one of the most powerful engagement drivers in GoJoe's model. When employees can see their team's position on the leaderboard, they're motivated to contribute — not just for personal benefit, but to support their colleagues. This social accountability transforms the daily decision to exercise from a private, easily skipped choice into a visible commitment to a team. GoJoe's team-based leaderboard format creates this effect without the pressure of individual rankings — no employee feels publicly shamed for lower activity levels. The result is a sustained motivation dynamic that persists throughout the challenge.
Are stats and leaderboards included?
Yes. GoJoe's admin dashboard provides full participation and activity stats at team, department, and organisational level. Individual employees see their personal activity history, points total, challenge ranking, streak count, and badge collection. Team leaderboards update in real time as members log activity. Managers and HR teams access aggregated dashboards showing participation rates, activity trends, and engagement scores across the workforce. All individual data in employer-facing reports is anonymised HR sees trends, not personal health records.
How does social interaction improve engagement?
Social interaction improves engagement because humans are inherently motivated by community and belonging. When employees interact celebrating a colleague's first run, competing on a leaderboard, or chatting in a club they develop stronger connections to the people they work with. These connections translate directly into engagement metrics: employees who feel connected to colleagues are more likely to be present, productive, and committed. Apps for employee engagement that create genuine social interaction rather than broadcasting corporate content consistently outperform content-only platforms on retention and participation.
Can remote teams participate?
Yes. GoJoe operates in 180+ countries, making it practical for distributed international teams. The platform supports 35+ languages, ensuring employees across all markets access it in their native language. Team challenges can connect colleagues across different offices, regions, and time zones through a shared virtual experience. Activity feeds, clubs, and leaderboards create a common social platform for the entire workforce regardless of location. Organisations like Hilti and Rolls-Royce use GoJoe specifically to bridge distributed workforces with participation rates exceeding 75% across all employee demographics and geographies.
How do engagement programs boost culture?
Employee engagement programmes boost culture by creating the shared experiences and stories that define it. A team challenge that becomes an annual event, a club that colleagues look forward to, a leaderboard moment that everyone remembers — these are the building blocks of a distinctive company culture. GoJoe programmes are consistently cited by employees as highlights of their working year. When a wellbeing programme generates this level of positive association with the employer, it reinforces the emotional contract between employee and organisation driving the trust and commitment that underpins genuine engagement.
How quickly are results seen?
Most organisations see strong engagement indicators within the first two weeks of launch. 70% of GoJoe users report improved wellbeing within 14 days. Participation in the first challenge typically reaches 80–90%. Improvements in engagement survey scores, team connection metrics, and absenteeism data tend to follow over 3–6 months of sustained programme use. GoJoe's real-time dashboard means HR teams don't wait for a quarterly review to see results participation and activity data is visible from day one, enabling fast iteration and continuous improvement.
