Employers are increasingly looking for opportunities to motivate sedentary employees to become more physically active. Workplace walking programs have had mixed success and typically show most improvement among participants that are already fairly active at a baseline. The goal of this study is to determine whether a financial incentive program can motivate sedentary employees to increase the number of steps they walk per day to meet a minimum threshold.
The primary outcome measure is the proportion of days a minimum activity of 7000 steps or more is achieved. Outcomes will be assessed each week for 3 months using incentives followed by 3 months of follow-up without incentives. Secondary outcomes will include the average steps walked per day.

| Feedback 75th Percentile | Experimental | At the end of each week, participants will be told the average daily step count for their team for the previous week. They will also be told the average for the 75th percentile in their arm. |

| Feedback 50th Percentile + Lottery | Experimental | At the end of each week, participants will be told the average daily step count for their team for the previous week. They will also be told the average for the 50th percentile in their arm. If their team's average daily step count is ≥ 7000 steps, they'll be eligible to collect winnings from a weekly lottery. Teams whose average daily step count is less than 7000 will receive messages about how much they would have won had the team met its goal. |

Participants are from single location and their activity was not tracked when not carrying smartphones. Randomization resulted in uneven # of participants; potentially limiting power for arms with < 70 subjects. Did not have baseline data.

| Physical activity in the last 7 days (MET-min) | The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to calculate the number of metabolic equivalent minutes (MET-min) per participant in the most recent 7 days. The MET is a physiologic measure of energy expenditure, with light-intensity activities having an MET <3, moderate-intensity activities having an MET of 3 to 6, and more vigorous-intensity activities with an MET>6. | Median | Inter-Quartile Range | Metabolic equivalent minutes (MET-min) |
