Challenges & Badges

Give clients another reason to keep showing up.

Use friendly challenges, badges, and rewards to encourage clients to keep coming back.

The problem

Participation can be easier to sustain when effort gets recognized.

Clients work at different speeds, and the final outcome may take time. A friendly challenge can give a group something to work toward now. Badges and rewards give your team ways to recognize participation without making every conversation about the final result.

Long-term goals with few moments of recognition along the way.
Group activities without a clear reason to participate.
Rewards that are not clearly connected to the challenge you are running.

A practical workflow

Put Challenges & Badges to work.

Choose a meaningful challenge
Start with a behavior or goal relevant to your program. Explain who it is for and what participating should involve.
Explain the recognition
Decide how badges or rewards will be used. Make the expectations clear to clients before the challenge begins.
Recognize the effort
Use the challenge as a reason to discuss participation and acknowledge effort. Review whether the approach suited the people in your program.

What you get

Badges
