Companies Look to Virtual Challenges During Pandemic

Confronted by a global pandemic and shuttered offices, companies in the US and overseas are looking to fitness tracker challenges to keep their work-from-home employees as healthy and connected as possible. Count.It has seen 911 new group registrations in March, and is on track to pass 1,000 for the month. That’s nearly double the company’s pre-pandemic record. Email inquiries from groups of all sizes, and across every industry, come in every day with the variations on the same theme:

We are a large company looking to engage our staff during the COVID-19 crisis

or

I am looking to sign up our non profit organisation for our physical and mental wellbeing during COVID-19 when we are working from home

or

We are considering using your website to run an Employee Fitness Challenge — now more important than ever in the wake of the current Work from Home working model globally.

Working from our homes, spread across three countries, the Count.It team is unexpectedly busy, and very grateful to be able to help in some small way in this moment.
