Essent Energy Games

A sense of togetherness lies at the heart of employee job satisfaction. Needless to say, (long) periods of working from home can affect the level of connection we experience with our colleagues and employer. Made up of various challenges that employees could participate in, the Essent Energy Games were developed to keep these connections strong. The icing on the cake? Money generated by employees was collected and distributed among the charities of their choosing.

• ● Points were collected for charity every time an employee participates in a challenge.
• ● A challenge could be baking a cake or going for an afternoon walk. Photos were used as proof that a challenge had been completed, while also serving to inspire others.
• ● These photos were then brought together in a feed. The “sneak preview” of someone’s home situation this gave created an immediate sense of connection.

● Progress was displayed on a digital landscape. “How many challenges were undertaken and who joined in?” A new points target was set every two months.
