Empowering NHS Staff with Gamification for a Greener Future
At Jump, we’re proud to be at the forefront of sustainability engagement, helping organisations drive real change through innovative behaviour change programmes. One of our most exciting recent partnerships is with Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, which has become the first NHS Trust in the UK to roll out our Green Rewards platform.
This ground-breaking initiative is designed to motivate staff to adopt more sustainable habits, contributing to the NHS’s broader goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2040. By blending gamification, rewards, and wellbeing, we’re making sustainability fun, accessible, and impactful for thousands of NHS employees.
What is Green Rewards?
Green Rewards is a digital engagement programme that encourages and rewards sustainable actions. Staff members at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust can log activities such as:
- Reducing waste and recycling properly
- Using low-carbon transport like walking or cycling to work
- Saving energy by switching off unused equipment
- Supporting their own wellbeing through mindfulness and exercise
Each action earns points, allowing individuals and teams to compete for prizes while making a positive impact on the environment. This interactive and engaging approach ensures that sustainability becomes an integral part of everyday work life.
25,000+ Sustainable Actions and Counting!
Since launching, over 25,000 sustainable actions have been recorded by NHS staff using Green Rewards. The enthusiasm and commitment shown by employees at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust demonstrate how powerful behaviour change programmes can be in reducing environmental impact and enhancing workplace culture.
As highlighted in National Health Executive, this initiative is not just about sustainability—it’s also about empowering NHS staff. By making green choices, employees can improve their wellbeing while actively contributing to a healthier planet.
Why Green Rewards is a Game-Changer for Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust
With the NHS accounting for 4% of the UK’s total carbon footprint, there is a huge opportunity for healthcare institutions to lead the way in sustainability. Through our Green Rewards platform, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust is taking meaningful action to embed sustainability into workplace culture.
Additionally, as reported by Employee Benefits, Green Rewards has also been a key tool in promoting staff wellbeing. The programme encourages healthier lifestyles, such as active travel and mindfulness activities, reinforcing the connection between personal wellbeing and a sustainable workplace.
How Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust is Setting a Benchmark for Other NHS Trusts
The success of Green Rewards at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust is a testament to the power of gamification and engagement in driving sustainability. This initiative proves that small, everyday actions—when taken collectively—can lead to significant change.
Other NHS Trusts and healthcare organisations looking to enhance sustainability engagement can replicate this model by partnering with Jump. Our bespoke Green Rewards programme can be tailored to fit different sectors, helping businesses, universities, and public sector organisations create measurable environmental and wellbeing impacts.
