WELLNESS CHALLENGE UNITES EMPLOYEES ACROSS THE MILES
The GCC was an easy way to engage our geographically dispersed workforce in a single, effective program.

CHaLLENGE:
Regionally dispersed and remote worksites present a logistical challenge for Apaches overarching efforts toward improving employee health, productivity and quality of life. Traditionally, Apache has struggled to include its eld and offshore employees in many of its wellness initiatives and activities, since many spend little to no time in the ofce due to travel or geographic isolation. In line with its coordinated wellness strategy, Apache sought an all-inclusive turnkey solution, which could be centrally managed yet have the capacity to effectively and equally engage each and every employee.
The Global Corporate Challenge was an easy way to engage our geographically dispersed workforce in a single, effective program. With professionally crafted and targeted promotional materials, employees came forward by the hundreds to ask to join in the challenge. Working relationships and team dynamics became stronger, and personal success stories began to emerge. Unlike other programs, engagement increased over the 16 week period, and our employees genuinely began to make positive changes toward healthier behaviors. Apache is pleased to have implemented the Global Corporate Challenge this year and look forward to rolling it out to our other locations across the world having a global competition next year.

REsULT:
The GCC was well-received and taken up by 560 participants (80 teams) from across even the most remote offshore and eld sites of Apaches U.S. operations. United by GCCs online interface and a fun, team-based challenge, geographically dispersed Apache employees joined together with sustained camaraderie to motivate, inspire and support each other through the 16-week behavioral change program. Considerable health and workplace benets were achieved, with success evidenced not only by the quantiable and recorded results, but also through the testimonials and visible enthusiasm of participants. With the 2012 U.S. trial deemed a resounding success across both implementation efciency and employee and workplace health outcomes, Apache intends to roll out GCC participation as a global initiative in 2013.
