About Moving Challenge

The Moving Challenge is a 6-month internal employee wellbeing and engagement program that focuses on building healthy habits while making a positive impact on society and the planet. Participants use an internal app to track outdoor activities like walking, running, and cycling, syncing their progress with platforms such as Strava and Sports Tracker. The program converts kilometers into points using a gamified system that encourages consistent, daily activity over irregular high-performance efforts.

Originally created at Fortech (now GlobalLogic Romania) in 2018, the program was inspired by employees and has continuously evolved through their feedback. Following Fortech’s integration with GlobalLogic, the initiative expanded to eight countries in the EMEA region for its 2025 edition: Romania, Poland, Slovakia, Croatia, Sweden, Germany, Ukraine, and the UK&I. With nearly 1,000 participants to date, the program has collectively logged over 740,000 kilometers, contributing to a reduction of over 150 tonnes of CO2 emissions by encouraging alternative transportation.
