Walking Workplaces is all about getting more active - and having some fun along the way!
Can you increase your clean and green activity, help the environment, help your team climb the leaderboard and earn rewards for yourself too?
It's easy! Download the BetterPoints app from the App Store or Google Play. Then simply record your walk/wheel, cycle or e-bike journeys.
Follow these instructions to get you started:
1️⃣ Download the BetterPoints app from the App Store or the Google Play Store (scan the QR below if you're not reading on your phone).
2️⃣ Tap Join Now in the app and fill out the form...
3️⃣ ... make sure to enter your workplace referral code during the registration process. This will give you access to the challenge and leaderboard.
There will be a welcome message about this on your timeline in the app:
If you aren't seeing this message, then the referral code may not have been added properly.
But don't worry!
Just tap the 3-line menu (☰) at the top left corner, then select 'Add Code' and then enter the referral code and tap 'Submit'.
The timeline message will appear after this.

How much information do I need to share to sign up?
