Why did Sitel choose United Heroes?

Sitel Group® is one of the largest global providers of customer experience (CX) products and solutions. Sitel Group empowers brands to build stronger relationships with their customers by creating meaningful connections that boost brand value.

 

With 160,000 people around the globe – working from home or from one of its CX hubs - the company decided to embark upon a wellness program for several reasons: 

Wellness

Challenge employees to boost heir mental and physical health 

Cohesion

Create a sense of connection amongst its growing global workforce

Corporate Culture

Its staff to feel more connected with its core values.

The United Heroes wellness solution

United Heroes and Sitel Group® have worked together to develop the SitelFit wellness program. The primary aim is to challenge employees to boost their health by doing various types of wellness exercises each month.

 

Workers can manually add the activities they do to the app or download a fitness app or activity tracker, which syncs with the SitelFit platform and converts their daily activity into points. They are then ranked on leaderboards, which are reset at the start of each month.

 

When the SitelFit platform was initially launched, it focused on physical health, but it has since expanded to become a more holistic platform, focusing on three key pillars of wellness: Move well, eat well and live well.

I think the inclusivity of the programme has been its biggest success. We have a huge team but noweveryone can be part of something together and make small steps to changing their lifestyles. We also havea big corporate social responsibility and the actions of all our employees on the app are having an impact on thecharities that we support as well.
