A wellness challenge with a real-time leaderboard
A professional services advisory firm runs its company wellness challenge in Airtable: daily activity submissions come in through forms covering steps, hydration, mindfulness, and photos, and a live interface leaderboard scores participants as entries arrive. HR and Marketing get a reusable template for employee engagement, with compiled photos ready to reuse for social posts.
The problem
The firm had no structured way to run employee engagement programs. Wellness activities, when they happened at all, were tracked manually, which made it hard to keep participation visible or consistent across a challenge.
HR and Marketing also lacked an easy way to showcase company culture. Photos and participation stories from any given event tended to scatter across inboxes instead of becoming reusable content.
What they built
HR and Marketing built a company wellness challenge base in Airtable, with forms collecting daily submissions across steps, hydration, mindfulness, and photos from every participant.
An interface leaderboard scores and ranks participants in real time as submissions arrive, and the base tracks prize distribution alongside the scoring. Submitted photos compile in one place, ready for Marketing to pull into social posts.
The outcome
Employee participation and engagement increased once the challenge had a visible, real-time leaderboard instead of a manual tally. The structure also gave HR a reusable template for future engagement programs rather than rebuilding tracking from scratch each time.
The compiled photo library became a source of social media content, giving Marketing a direct, low-effort way to showcase company culture.
