We recommend a target of having 50-80% of your existing team registered for the app in the first two weeks of launch.

To help you achieve this, we recommend you offer launch incentives to your care staff and champions.  

Watch this short video for launch incentive tips and ideas that have been tried and tested by other organisations.

Make your launch incentive time-bound for extra impact. We recommend two weeks from your launch date.

Remember, as app users have to reach a minimum number of points before they can redeem, you will only pay out a launch bonus for those members of staff who go on to use the app for referrals or who earn rewards for other things. So staff can’t register and immediately claim just the launch bonus.

How to check your % uptake If you are a single site organisation, compare your 'Total number of staff' with your 'Total staff registered' in the 'Employee engagement' section of your portal dashboard.
