Use case · Workplace walking

Planning a workplace walking program

We start with the organization's actual work setting and operating capacity. We do not apply a fictional “standard company” or promise a recognition result.

Inputs for the first review

The purpose of the program and the current problem
Number of participants, locations, and work patterns
Timing and available operating staff
Existing walking or health programs
Available data and internal policies
Budget and the current involvement of HR, security, legal, occupational health, and insurers

What the review produces

A proposal for participants, recruitment, timing, and goals
Participant information and consent items
A proposal for data fields, access, retention, and deletion
Measures such as enrollment, continuation, step distribution, drop-out reasons, and support requests
Operational, legal, privacy, and security questions to resolve before rollout

Evaluation

Track invitations, consent, starts, continuation, completion, and drop-out separately. For steps, review medians, distributions, missing data, and device differences rather than relying only on the mean.

A change in steps does not by itself establish an effect on health, medical costs, or productivity. Those outcomes require an appropriate evaluation design and relevant specialists.

Participant safeguards

Participation is voluntary and non-participation does not affect employment decisions.
Individual step counts are not exposed to managers or unnecessary staff.
Provide alternatives for people for whom a uniform step target is unsuitable.
Allow participants to opt out of competition or financial conditions.

Not decided or guaranteed here

Share the intended group, purpose, timing, current programs, and internal review setup. It is fine if some items are undecided.
