Workplace health

Get your team moving –
department vs. department.

Herdy Fitness is a training and step app your employees use for free. Step challenges between departments turn everyday movement into a habit, and HR receives monthly reports that never identify individuals.

  • Set up by posting one code
  • Individual data stays private
  • 3-month free pilot

October department challenge

average steps per person per day

68%

Participation

Departments with fewer than 5 people are hidden

Workplace health that people actually keep up

A reason to move

Steps from the commute or the lunch break count towards the challenge – so colleagues who never go to the gym can join in too.

Across departments

The department ranking gets people talking. Remote colleagues take part in the same challenge.

Evidence for certification

Monthly reports with participation and average steps document your measures to promote exercise – for example for Japan’s Health & Productivity Management certification (健康経営優良法人).

How it works

No special devices, no IT integration. You can start the same day.

  1. 1

    Post the company code

    Add your departments in the company portal and print the notice with your company code and QR code. Share it on the notice board or intranet.

  2. 2

    Employees join in the app

    Under “Profile → My company” employees enter the code or scan the QR code, choose their department and agree to take part. Joining is voluntary.

  3. 3

    Challenges and monthly report

    Start step challenges between departments in the portal. Each month you get a report with participation and average steps to print or save as PDF.

Built to protect your employees’ privacy

Health data deserves particular care. Your company only receives statistical summaries – we never pass on personal data about individual employees.

What your company sees

  • Number of participants and participation rate
  • Active people per month
  • Average steps per person and number of workouts (whole company, departments with 5 or more people)
  • Department ranking in challenges (average per person)

What your company never sees

  • Names, accounts or who is taking part
  • Individual steps or workout details
  • Body weight, photos or other profile and body data
  • Figures for departments or groups under 5 people

For the statistics, Herdy only stores daily step totals (deleted after 60 days) and the number of completed workouts. Nothing from before someone joined is included, and employees can leave at any time in the app. Privacy policy →

Frequently asked questions

Do employees have to pay anything?

No. The Herdy Fitness app is free for everyone. Only the company pays.

Can the company see individual employees’ steps?

No. The company only sees summaries for the whole company and for departments with at least 5 people – participation, active people, average steps per person and number of workouts. Names and individual figures are never passed on.

Is taking part mandatory?

No, it is voluntary. Joining requires the employee’s consent, and they can leave at any time under “Profile → My company”. After leaving, their data is no longer included.

Does it help with Health & Productivity Management certification?

The monthly report shows participation, active people and average steps and can be used as evidence of your measures to promote exercise in the application. Whether you are certified depends on the review – we cannot guarantee certification.

Do we need smartwatches or pedometers?

No. The app reads daily steps from Health Connect (Android) or Apple Health (iOS) on the phone. Steps from supported smartwatches flow in through these as well.

What about contract terms and invoicing?

The Company plan runs month to month and can be cancelled at any time. We calculate the fee from the number of active people each month and send an invoice. Enterprise plans are annual. Get in touch for details.
