The infamous crown

Ray White kept motivation high throughout Steptember with a simple but highly effective weekly tradition — crowning their top stepper with a handmade cardboard crown.

Each week, the leading stepper earned the honour of wearing the crown around the office (yes, even in meetings) giving them ultimate bragging rights until the next leaderboard update.
To keep the momentum going, Ray White also rewarded each weekly winner with a coffee voucher, encouraging them to use it to catch up with their Steptember team.

- Created ongoing engagement
- Encouraged friendly competition between colleagues
- Added humour and fun to the workplace
- Recognised and rewarded participation in a simple way
Outcomes:
- Strong week-to-week engagement
- Increased team motivation and participation
- Created workplace buzz, laughs, and conversation
