Chronic stress. Sedentary work style. Skipped meals. Sometimes we tend to forget our self-care at the door when we walk into the office or start our workday. We challenge you to raise the bar this summer by putting wellness to work with this 4-week program. You and your teammates will improve your overall wellbeing by helping create a work environment that supports and encourages healthier work habits. This summer is the perfect time to slow down, take a moment for yourself, and prioritize your needs and the needs of your team. What better way to do so than by participating in the Summer Wellness Challenge? The program starts July 11 and ends August 13 HOW IT WORKS:
1. Team captains register here. Captains will communicate the Summer Wellness Challenge information back to your team - whomever they are. You can make a team from your work group, family or friends.
2. Captains will receive a weekly email from The Whole U with the focus of the week, the wellness checklist, and all the events happening in person and on Zoom.
3. Can’t find a team? Register as an individual! You can reap all the benefits from spending 4 weeks focused on improving your personal health. THE WELLNESS CHECKLIST: The Whole U will provide you and your team with a checklist that includes action items to complete under four main areas of wellness at work:
Being Active - Encourage more physical activity during your workday: Take stretch breaks, short walks, use the stairs, try a new activity, participate in a yoga class.
Self Care - Create strategies to reduce work-related stress: meditation breaks, game spaces, shared meme of the week, digital detox challenges.
Eating Well - Encourage healthier nutrition decisions: hydrate throughout the day, take lunch breaks away, host potlucks or picnics, try sustainability challenges, read labels, share recipes.
Cultivating Kindness and Compassion - Build compassion, empathy, and kindness: share words of affirmation, spread happiness with your team, host team meeting boosts.
Building Community - Foster community and stronger connections: host a clean up day, volunteer together, participate in the food drive, celebrate coworkers’ anniversaries and birthdays.
