The problem

Phones are quietly draining your team's focus.

The same habits that strain the brain at home follow employees to their desks. It shows up as lost hours and broken focus, and most well-being perks never touch it.

Stanford Lifestyle Medicine

Excessive screen time is reshaping the adult brain.

Stanford Medicine defines excessive use in adults as 2+ hours of screen time a day outside work hours. The average adult is at six.

Thinner cortex

The region that drives memory, decision-making and problem-solving. Exactly the skills your team is paid for.

Less gray matter

The tissue behind memory, movement and emotional regulation shrinks with heavy, passive use.

Anxious, sleepless days

Phones in bed trigger the fight-or-flight response, delay melatonin and disrupt sleep. Tired people make slow decisions.

Want something more high-touch?

Your own leaderboard. Your own challenges.

An employer can get a private leaderboard inside the Social Limits app, so your people compete with colleagues, not strangers.

  • Private company leaderboard. Ranked by step count, by individual or by team. Only your employees can see it.
  • Step challenges we run for you. A launch challenge, a monthly team battle, or a department showdown. We set it up, you announce it.
  • Prizes that drive adoption. Tie rewards to the leaderboard and watch sign-ups and daily steps climb.
  • Reporting for leadership. Challenge results land on your dashboard, ready for your monthly well-being update.

How we calculate this

Three inputs, one simple sum.

1 · Adoption

Adoption is the share of your employees who actually use Social Limits, not the number who are offered it. Most well-being benefits struggle here: Gartner found that while 87% of employees have access to well-being programmes, only 23% use them.

We default to a conservative 5%, well below that benchmark, so the result is a floor rather than a best case. Slide it up to see what a well-run launch with leaderboards and challenges could deliver.

2 · Minutes won back

Employers report two or more hours lost every day to distractions, with phones the single biggest culprit (CareerBuilder / Harris Poll). Social Limits removes the morning scroll before the workday even starts.

We default to just 5 minutes a day per active employee, a tiny fraction of the time reported lost, over 230 working days a year.

3 · Value of an hour

The hours won back are valued at what an employee hour costs your business. $45 is the default; adjust it to your own average loaded hourly cost (salary plus on-costs, divided by hours worked).

This is a productivity estimate, not a cash saving. It is the focused time your team gets back, expressed in dollars.

Active employees1,000 employees × 5% adoption = 50
Hours won back50 × 5 min ÷ 60 × 230 working days = 958 hrs
Productivity value958 hrs × $45 per hour = $43,125

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What data do we see as an employer?

Only aggregated, de-identified programme statistics: adoption, total steps, movement time and hours saved. We never share an individual's step count, health data, blocked-app selections or usage activity with their employer.

Does it need an IT integration or hardware?

No hardware. Steps sync from the phone's built-in health data, so there's nothing to log and no wearable to buy. For larger rollouts we connect to your existing user management so employees can log in with SSO, which also powers your adoption dashboard. Smaller teams can start with redemption codes and no integration at all.

Is it available on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Social Limits is on the App Store and Google Play and available in 175 countries, so distributed and global teams are covered.

Is it opt-in? What if employees don't want it?

Completely opt-in. Employees choose which apps to block and set their own step goal, anywhere from 200 to 10,000 steps, so it adapts to any age, mobility level or lifestyle. Leaderboards and challenges make it something people want to join rather than something they're told to use.

How is it priced?

A simple annual licence per employee, with no setup fee. Pricing scales with team size and is tailored to your organisation. Get in touch and we'll put together a quote for your team.

How quickly can we launch?

Most organisations go from signed agreement to live in a couple of weeks. Employees are set up in minutes, and we run a launch challenge with you to drive early adoption.
