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: â€‹

​

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. 

 

Commissioners Club: All individuals who go the extra mile and hit 10,000 steps or more at least 90% of the challenge (27 out of 30 days) will also be rewarded.  

​

Each borough will feature a scavenger hunt with points of interest to visit to get your steps in. Earn bonus steps to your final individual step average for each place you visit in your borough!
