About the Team Challenge:
Over 70 city agencies will be represented in STEPtember across 400+ teams! Learn more about how the team challenge works below: ​
​
Agency Teams:
All agencies have been allocated teams based on their size and previous participation in WorkWell NYC Walking Challenges. (Click on the image to the right to view the # of teams allocated to your agency)
​
Teams in MoveSpring:
Teams are prepopulated in the MoveSpring app and are identifiable by your agency's logo and abbreviated name. (e.g. ACS-01, ACS-02)
​
Team Size:
Each team must have 15-20 members to be eligible to participate once the challenge begins. Note: Participants on teams with less than 15 members will be moved to another team within their agency before the challenge begins.
Joining a Team:
Employees are able to join any team listed under their agency. Teams are open to agency employees on a first-come, first-serve basis and are not specific to any location and/or division.
​
Participating on a Team with Co-workers:
Participants should let their co-workers know the name of the team in which they plan to join, in order to participate on the same team.
​
Switching Teams:
Participants are allowed to switch teams (within their agency) as often as desired before the challenge begins. Once STEPtember begins,
participants will no longer be able to change teams.
​
Team Step Count:
The team with the highest average step count will win the challenge. Team average step counts are calculated using the following formula:
​
Total # of steps taking by all team members / total # of team members
​
Winning Categories:
Teams:
Most Active Team: The team with the highest average step count will be crowned the STEPtember winners!
Individuals:
Stick To It: All individuals who hit 8,000 steps or more at least 80% of the challenge (24 out of 30 days) will also be rewarded.
