Challenge UM: on your marks, get set, walk!
As part of the Quality of Life at Work Week, technology is being used to promote well-being. To combat a sedentary lifestyle, the UM is launching a connected challenge via the Kiplin application.
The aim is to help and motivate each other to increase their daily physical activity... and why not? climb onto the podium of the UM's top walkers as a team.
Form your team (from 2 to 5 people), put on your shoes, warm up and start walking! Your steps will be automatically converted into points, propelling you to the top of the leaderboard.
The more regularly your team members walk, the more points you'll earn!
Fun and sporting challenges will punctuate the game, allowing teams to earn bonus points. An instant messaging system will centralize exchanges with your team and all participants.
Four webinars will also be offered during the gaming session:
- Introduction to meditation with petit BamBou
- Ideas for healthy lunches on the go
- At the office and looking good
- Quitting smoking to develop other skills
Registration opens on June 1.
The gaming session will run from June 14 to July 2. All steps taken during this period will be added to the team's score.

Did you know?
You think there's no link between physical activity and quality of life at work?
Think again!
Physical activity at work has 3 advantages:
- Improved stress management through reduced anxiety and increased self-confidence. Your colleagues should appreciate it!
- Stimulate concentration, attention and creativity. Your neurons will be delighted!
- Strengthening team spirit by encouraging interaction between staff, whatever their status.
Makes you want to take action, doesn't it?
Data collected as part of the challenge will not be sold or shared with third parties, and will be hosted in France by an approved health data host.
