Team Challenges are designed for Users to self-select teams between four to eight participants. Users will create a team name and enter each member of the team in their Wellable account. Each team member must have a Wellable user account. Users can access the team registration instructions through the team Challenge’s Bulletin Board and in the Challenge Details, Challenge Reminder, Challenge Launch (No Teams), and Week 1 Update (Inactive Users) emails.
If the self-selection method doesn’t work for your organization, choose one of the other ways to establish teams listed below. If you choose not to use the self-selection team registration process and create teams of a different size or select another team registration option from the list below, you will need to modify or remove the Team Registration section in your Challenge communications.
Teams can be assigned when your first add Users using any of the available user management options. If Users have already been added, teams will need to be manually uploaded using an Update Users file.
Location
If your organization has multiple office locations, teams can be created based on the office in which a user resides. Remote employees can be assigned to the same team. A prize option for the winning team could be an office party or celebration event.
Department
Teams can be organized by department or functional group, such as finance, sales, and product development. Similar to location, a prize option could be an event celebrating the victory and further promoting team building.
Random Assignment
Random assignment of teams is a great way to promote interactions among participants that do not know each other or connect regularly. To randomly assign Users to teams, try using Keamk, a free online resource that makes this process quick and easy.
