Goals and Challenges - Benefits of Enabling User-created Challenges

Introduction

In this article, you can learn more about the benefits of enabling user-created challenges for your users. This information is useful to client admins, to decide whether they want to allow employees in their organization to create their own challenges directly in the Engage app.

Overview

User-created challenges are a great way to keep users motivated and engaged without creating any work for you, as the admin.

Turning on user-created challenges allows users to make their own challenges and invite other participants in your organization to join them. By default, your user-created challenge participant limit is set to 10 total users, but you can increase or decrease this limit from your app settings, if preferred. To learn how to do that, visit this article: Goals and Challenges - Adjusting Your Client App Settings in the Admin Center.

When creating a user-created challenge, users can select from 5 different challenge modes: Streak, Leaderboard, Target, Daily Habit and Virtual Race.

Benefits of User-created Challenges

• Increase user engagement and participation by giving the participants more ownership over their challenge experience
• A great way to fill the off-time between challenges without creating any work for admins
• Users are more likely to consistently and continuously sync their data if there are more challenge participation options
• Get the most out of your Engage subscription with participants using the app year-round, regardless of your challenge schedule
• Users are more likely to become champions of your wellness program if they are creating challenges with their coworkers and close friends at work
