Building benefits across the business through sport
Sport is a great vehicle
to drive employee
engagement and we’ve
created a range of
services specifically to
help motivate, reward,
attract, retain and
develop staff.
At ActivityMix, we recognise the importance of putting
people first in your organisation. Where employees
were previously driven by bonuses and benefits we are
now witnessing a shift in what motivates and engages
the workforce. Individuals have a desire to improve
themselves and take control of their direction.
Benefits emerge across business functions with this
people-centric approach. These benefits can lead
to a wealth of opportunities and successes including
improved profits, productivity and performance.

Motivating you personally through sport
The beauty of using
sport is that it appeals
to personal drivers
including career
development and health.
Not only can the benefits of our services be
experienced by individuals but these benefits can
contribute to the overall aims and objectives of the
business. For example, an employee could be trying
something new for the first time and taking the first
steps to leading a healthier, more active lifestyle.
Improved health can lead to higher productivity in the
workplace, fewer sick days, as well as reduced health
premiums in the long term. These events also provide
a platform for individuals to build better connections
throughout the organisation, allowing opportunities for
innovation and career development.

6. Activeengagementservices
A strategic and integrated approach
An active approach
provides a challenging,
fun, creative, competitive
and social atmosphere
to engage, inspire and
enthuse teams.
With companies needing to adopt more of a
blended approach to work and employee lifestyle,
the importance of a ‘Great Place to Work’ has been
accelerated. Companies that are socially engaged are
leading the way by putting collaboration, opportunity
and solution focuses at the forefront of their business.
Our active engagement services are suitably tailored
to your organisation and designed to meet your
company’s objectives. Our strategic planning ensures
your employees reap the benefits of recreational and
social activities whilst creating focus, purpose and clear
measurement to assess return on investment.
Designed solely for your company, our service combines aspects of the below framework:

8. The concept
The Corporate Decathlon and Corporate Pentathlon
are year long programmes that use a framework of
sports events and leadership development to engage,
inspire and enthuse.
The benefits
These unique inter-company programmes are led
by the people within your organisation and provide a
positive outlet for employees to have fun and get to
know each other in a vibrant sporting environment but
also offer a wealth of business benefits:
• Building networks of communication
• Breaking down of hierarchial barriers
• Projecting company values across the business
• Attracting and retaining staff more efficiently
• Creating networking opportunities
• Developing aspiring leaders
• Progressing career development
• Demonstrating a commitment to healthy living
• Building brand loyalty
The results
In 2014, over 78% of participants stated that they felt
more engaged as a result of their involvement.
“The best part of the Corporate Decathlon is
that it isn’t just fun during the event or even just
on the day of the event. It is something that
creates discussion, laughter and memories
from the moment you are trying to find people
to compete until now, months later, we are still
talking about what a great experience the whole
year has been.” PwC
Evidence also shows that participants are encouraged
to lead a healthier lifestyle with over 70% of participants
stating they were encouraged to continue with the
sport after trying it in the Corporate Decathlon or
Corporate Pentathlon.

primarily depend on your objectives and one of our
team will meet with you to discuss the desired impact of
your active engagement initiative. We will then organise
and run the event for you.

bespoke approach to active employee engagement.
