John O’Shea’s new business venture is looking to challenge employee fitness

GoChallenge, an employee engagement platform focused on promoting health and wellness, has announced a significant investment from former Manchester United and Republic of Ireland star John O’Shea.

The Waterford Startup offers a range of interactive challenges and activities designed to motivate employees to stay healthy and connected.

By using gamification and social engagement tools, the platform creates a fun and competitive environment that encourages participants to move more and build stronger relationships with their colleagues.

As a seasoned professional athlete and hugely respected figure in the sports world, O’Shea has always championed the importance of physical fitness and teamwork.

According to the company, his investment in GoChallenge is driven by a shared vision to transform workplace culture by encouraging physical activity and social interaction among employees.

“Health and well-being have always been close to my heart,” said O’Shea.

“In my career, both on and off the pitch, I’ve seen firsthand how physical activity and strong social bonds can dramatically improve performance and morale.

“GoChallenge is a fantastic platform that leverages technology to make these benefits accessible to everyone, fostering a healthier, more connected workforce.”

O’Shea’s involvement with GoChallenge extends beyond financial investment. 

His unique perspective and experience in high-performance environments will be invaluable as GoChallenge continues to develop innovative solutions to enhance employee health and experience.

“We are incredibly excited to have John O’Shea on board,” said GoChallenge CEO, John Barron.
