Organization awards
Employers will compete for overall organization awards based on total employee points (in several company size categories) and best workplace promotion of the challenge.
We know that many companies within similar industries keep close track of each other during the Green Commute Challenge. This year we will also offer sub-challenges to organizations who want to be included in a particular grouping. Results for these groups will be tabulated and shared weekly, and at the conclusion we will recognize the top performer in each group. Sub-challenge groups will include:
- Architecture / engineering / construction
- Banking
- Education
- Health care
- Legal
- Local government / nonprofit
