Create a leaderboard

How to create a leaderboard to create a sense of healthy competition and bring more fun into the workplace.

LEADERBOARDS, EXPLAINED

What’s a leaderboard?

A leaderboard is a board with the names (of teams or individuals) and their current scores for a measure/activity, e.g. number of steps walked per day.

OBJECTIVES

Why is a leaderboard a good idea for our workplace?

• They are fun and easy ways to embed wellbeing into the workday

• They are a great way to showcase and celebrate ‘top performers’ in activities beyond their roles

• They support connection and a sense of camaraderie (especially if used at the team level)

• They tap into our competitive natures to elevate the conversation around wellbeing

•
