During workplace challenges, your workplace will compete against others of a similar size. You will be placed in the correct size category according to your staff count. It's the Champion's job to make sure that the staff count is correct so that you compete on the correct leaderboard.
Luckily, it's super simple to edit and confirm the staff count on your Workplace Profile! 👌
Before a challenge starts, Champions should:
Where can I see the staff count?
Head to your Workplace Profile and look at the stats at the top. The below image shows the staff count. In this example, the total staff count is 9, so Love to Ride - Bristol will compete on the 7-19 staff size leaderboard.
Who should be included in the staff count?
To make it as fair as possible, workplaces and departments should only compete with workplaces/departments that are of a similar size to them. Therefore it’s essential that the staff numbers we have are correct.
Please count everyone who is employed (part-time or full-time) during the event period. Challenges are specifically for you and your co-workers and so this doesn’t include students where they may exist.
If your workplace has students, we encourage you to set up a Club/Group for them. We want your students to sign-up their own employers and work to encourage their co-workers there to start riding too.
You can only exclude co-workers in your staff count who are on maternity leave, long-term sick leave, sabbatical, other long-term leave, or based outside of the challenge area (e.g. the country for a national challenge or city for a city-wide challenge etc.) for the full duration of the event period.
How to edit and confirm the staff count
1) Head to your Workplace Profile
2) Click on 'Edit Workplace' below the logo
4) In the third box down, enter the correct staff count
5) Check the box at the bottom of the page to confirm the staff count
Note: Once this has been done, it can't be reversed, so make sure you have double-checked beforehand. If there will be changes in numbers due to staff joining or leaving, remember to make allowances for this.
6) Click 'Update Workplace' at the bottom to save changes
7) Check on your Workplace profile that the staff count has been updated
All done - now it's time to get logging those rides! 👍
