Testimonials

They engage their teams with United Heroes

The app is really important to us, because our organisation is quite spread out, not least with our 300 branches. It really helps us stay connected.

Bastien LamonHead of Membership, Social Engagement and Partnerships, Caisse d'Épargne Hauts de France

Thanks to United Heroes, we can finally reach all our employees, at the same time, everywhere in France. That's what lets us bring them together around shared causes and rebuild a real sense of unity despite the distance.

Your questions about advent calendars at work

The cost depends on your number of employees and the option you choose, ready-to-launch pack or tailored. Prizes are paid by your company, within the budget you set. Fill in the form and we will send you a tailored proposal.

The pack is ready to use: 24 days of challenges from 1 to 24 December, a chance to win a prize every day, a communication kit and in-app reminders. The tailored option starts from your goals to build the mechanics, prizes and content with you.

For a 1 December start with the pack, sign by 20 November at the latest. In-app sign-up reminders start on 26 November. For a tailored programme, contact us as soon as possible and we will look at what is possible.

Every day, an employee who reaches the 24-point goal instantly finds out if they have won a prize. You choose the prizes and their budget: goodies, company perks or anything else. As an option, an email informs the winners. As with any game with prizes, plan a set of rules and have it checked by your legal team.

No. All activities count except daily steps, and 24 points is about 24 minutes of activity a day. Everyone chooses what suits them.

Yes. Everything happens in the mobile app, wherever your employees are. Everyone takes part from their site, branch or home, at a time that suits them.

The calendar is based on activity challenges and prizes, open to everyone. With the tailored option, you can also present it as an end-of-year calendar. We adapt the tone with you.
