UPnGO with ParticipACTION: Evaluating impact on the worksite environment and employee’s physical activity behavior

In order to improve the health and productivity of Canadians, ParticipACTION developed a rewards based, physical activity tracking intervention called UPnGO. The UPnGO pilot will aim to increase the amount of physical activity performed throughout the workday. Before and after the intervention, worksites will be assessed to determine what components of workplace environment and policy increase the success of the intervention measured by how employees use the UPnGO platform and changes in average daily steps. This data will provide valuable information about how to improve the intervention to make it more effective and cost-efficient.
