English term or phrase: to challenge
Bonjour, je traduis une interview orale retranscrite à l'écrit. Le sujet est la motivation d'une équipe au sein d'une entreprise.

I think if you meet any of our team you should feel the sense of the hungriness. That affects a lot of the services that we bring to our customers. We're always trying to challenge how they're going about their lives.

Des idées pour traduire le mot "challenge" pour qu'il colle avec la fin de la phrase ?

Merci !

neutral  Eliza Hall: This is correct but narrower than the original, in that "interpeller" primarily connotes a verbal challenge (questioning someone, etc.). In English, "challenge" isn't primarily verbal/oral. It could be anything.

disagree  Eliza Hall: In the English original there's no suggestion that they're talking to their customers at all, or listening to what their customers are saying about their lives. It's about how the customers live (their habits, etc.). It's not about words.
