GRP Heroes is a sports and wellness app for all GRP colleagues around the world. Its aim is to transform our daily life by encouraging physical activity, improving our wellbeing and getting us motivated to move by changing physical activities into health points. With over 60 different sports and wellbeing activities there's bound to be something of interest for everyone.
Here at Total Gas & Power we currently have 78 people signed up to take part. If you're participating in the CSR challenge Go the Distance, it's also a great way to keep track of your activity. GRP Heroes has been active since last year, but it's not too late to get involved - read below to find out how to sign up.
Margaret Beale is TGP's Ambassador for GRP Heroes and has done a fantastic job in keeping us competitive with colleagues in GRP. The app has also helped to boost Margaret's love of running. She says:
"I have taken up running over the last year and on the days when it is cold and dark my enthusiasm for going out is limited, the GRP Heroes challenges encourage me to get outdoors and after an hour in the clean air and countryside I feel refreshed and ready for my day."
Why join GRP Heroes?
As well as your chosen activities earning you points, there are weekly individual challenges to register for and when you complete a challenge you win a badge and bonus points. All of our points are added together to provide a ranking against all other Total teams around the world.
Vickie Hand, National Account Manager, is an active GRP Hero. Here's why:
"There are a few things I love about Heroes. Partly giving great discussion points with colleagues who we may not ordinarily get into a more personal conversation with. Having the challenges to encourage me to do things in a particular week which I may not have done had it not been to try and earn the bonus points. And the healthy competition which I often have with Liz (I'm not sure if she is aware we are competing, but we often battle for 3rd place on the leader board!) It's a great app and it would be fab to see even more of the team using it."

The good news is that it is all GDPR safe and they only collect data that they need to make the app work. The technology works with any tools you already use daily to track physical activities (connected watch, wristband, sports application or native pedometer on phones). You can also enter up to three activities each day manually on the app (maximum 2hour in duration each).
