Programmes are the guided multi-day journeys your people follow — a week of appreciation, a fortnight of calm and focus, a burnout check-in. Building one from scratch is the part most HR teams never get round to, so CHOYS can draft it for you.
The draft is a starting point, not a decision. Nothing reaches your employees until you approve it.
Describe the goal
Say what you want to happen, in your own words. "Help the sales team wind down after quarter end." "Get people moving more in January." "Rebuild connection after the office move." The clearer you are about the group and the problem, the more useful the draft.
Review the generated programme
You get back a full draft: a name, a description, a length and a day-by-day plan. Read it as you would a colleague's first draft — check the tone sounds like your organisation, and check the length is realistic for the team you have in mind.
Check the daily tasks
Programmes work by giving people one small task a day — a mood check-in, a short meditation, a steps goal, a poll. Go through them and cut anything that will not fit your people's day. A task nobody has time for is a task that quietly ends the programme.
Check the rewards
Each task carries CHOYS Coins and XP. Make sure the rewards feel proportionate: the effort people put in should match what they get back, and it should be consistent with your other programmes so nothing looks like a bargain or a swindle by comparison.
Review the communications
The draft includes the wording that announces the programme and nudges people along. This is the part most worth editing by hand — put it in your own voice, and say why you are running it.
Approve and publish
When you are happy, approve the programme and publish it. It then appears to employees under Programs, where they can browse it, see its dates, length and rewards, and join.
