Step rewards, run for you
Their steps.
Their gift cards.
Our work.
Your employees earn points for their daily steps. The points become gift-card value they choose how to use, and it never expires. Our team sets up the program and runs it for you.
Coming soon to the App StoreWorks with Apple Health on iPhone and Health Connect on Android.
Sample data: what your employee sees, next to what you see.
How it works
From your roster to their rewards.
We run the program. You send a list, your employees walk, and their steps become points.

Points become gift cards
When the period ends, points become gift-card value. Employees redeem it for a gift card, delivered by email.
Two sides of one program
You see the rewards. Their steps stay off your screen.
Your employees see their steps, points and rewards in the app. You see the same points and rewards. Their step counts are never shown to you.
Sample data. The same employee, on their phone and in their employer's view.
Steps only
The app reads the daily step count. No other health data.
Points, not steps
You see who earned what. You never see anyone's step counts.
Employees stay in control
They agree to clear Terms, and they can delete their account from the app.
Your program, your rules
Set the rules once. We run them.
Every company gets its own settings. You decide how generous the program is and how often points turn into rewards. We set it up the way you want.
Your budget, your rules
Choose how many points steps earn, what a point is worth, and a daily cap. You always know the most a day can cost.
Monthly or quarterly
Rewards are counted per calendar month or per quarter. You pick.
Your time zone
Days follow your US time zone, so "today" means today for your team.
Behind the scenes
Our team runs it for you.
HealthForward is a done-for-you service. Our team works in our own Admin Console every day, so your HR team doesn't have to. Here is some of what we handle.

Can employers see employees' step counts?
No. The app reads daily step counts only, and your company never sees them. You see the same points and rewards your employees see.
How does a step rewards program for employees work?
Your employees walk as they normally do. Their phone counts the steps, and the steps earn points under the rules you choose, up to a daily cap. At the end of each month or quarter, the points become gift-card value they choose how to use.
Does it work with Apple Health and Android?
Yes. The app reads steps from Apple Health on iPhone and from Health Connect on Android.
What do employees need to join?
The HealthForward app on their phone and the work email on your roster. They sign in with a one-time code sent to that email, so there is no password to remember.
How do we add employees?
You send us your roster file. We preview every row with you, then add everyone in one go. If a row has a problem, nothing goes in until it's fixed.
Which activities count toward points?
Daily steps only. Steps that arrive up to seven days after the day walked still earn points.
When do points become rewards?
When each period ends. You choose calendar months or quarters. The value then joins the employee's balance, which never expires. Employees redeem their balance for gift cards, delivered by email through Tremendous.
Who pays for the rewards, and what does it cost?
Your company funds every reward, at the rates you set. We price our service per company. Book a demo and we'll send you a quote.
How do you keep it fair?
Unusual step patterns are held automatically. For example, if the exact same step count of 1,000 or more repeats three days in a row, the account is held. A person on our team checks it and releases it with a recorded reason.
When can we start?
