POLICIES

Removal of a team member

Nuvita programs have the primary goal to motivate and inspire participants to be a better version of themselves. We recognize this is different for each person. When it comes to competitive Nuvita programs, the primary goal is to motivate and inspire participants through friendly competition, not for the sake of competition itself. Nuvita and the City of Albuquerque encourage all participants to embrace this philosophy and seek opportunities to motivate and inspire those around them, especially co-workers.

Team members cannot be removed from your team once the competition has begun except in the event of a medical condition, a hardship beyond their control, or from their voluntary withdrawal from the program. Team members cannot be kicked off your team, even due to low participation. If team members are removed for any of the qualifying circumstances, removal of a member will not change scores of past weeks already finalized.

The City of Albuquerque will not tolerate harassment, bullying, or the intimidation of other employees. Any instances of such will be dealt with by the City of Albuquerque Human Resources in accordance with City policy.

Click here to download the form which must be submitted in the event you or one of your team members no longer wishes to participate.
