Question 4

The "Glow-Step" Initiative

A wellness research group launched the "Glow-Step" initiative to determine if visual rewards could encourage office workers to use stairs instead of elevators. They installed pressure-sensitive light panels on the main staircase of an 8-story corporate headquarters, which illuminated in vibrant patterns when climbed. Over a four-day period during a summer heatwave, the researchers recorded that staircase usage increased to 340 climbs per day, compared to an average of 95 climbs per day during a typical week prior to the installation. The group declared that visual gamification is the single most powerful strategy to permanently resolve the global crisis of sedentary workplace behaviour.
